Exercise and Brain Control Study for College Students
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how physical activity affects your brain's ability to control impulses. It is for healthy college students and involves answering questions and doing simple tasks.

This study looks at how different levels of sitting and light activity—from being still to moving a bit—affect your thinking and brain state. It includes both children and adults, with or without health conditions like obesity.
This study looks at how lactate (a chemical your body makes during exercise) affects your thinking and brain function. If you are a healthy, active adult aged 18–35, you may help researchers understand the link between exercise and cognition.
This study tests a brain exercise designed to improve thinking skills like focus and memory. It is for healthy, right-handed adults with normal vision.
This study combines brain stimulation with physical exercise to see if it can improve thinking and memory in people with schizophrenia. You will get both treatments and be tested on cognitive functions.
This study compares the short-term effects of two types of exercise—moderate-intensity continuous exercise and high-intensity interval training (HIIT)—on thinking skills and how your body responds during and after exercise.
This study looks at how your diet and health affect your body's response to exercise. You'll do some thinking tests, record what you eat, and ride a bike at a moderate pace.
