Hand strength test for people with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a simple 6-minute hand exercise test to measure upper body endurance in people with obesity. It aims to see if the test is valid and reliable for this group.

This study looks at how your body responds to exercise if you have obesity. It may help researchers understand which changes happen with exercise and how safe it is for people in your age group.
This study examines how obesity affects your breathing capacity and muscle strength, especially when your lungs show a restrictive pattern (difficulty expanding fully). Researchers will assess your body composition, physical function, and respiratory muscle endurance to better understand these connections.
This study looks at how endurance exercise changes fat cells in the body. It may help understand how exercise benefits weight-related health.
This study compares how body weight (higher or lower body fat) affects lung function, breathing during exercise, and exercise capacity in adults ages 65–75. You may be asked to do lung and exercise testing, but only if you meet health and activity restrictions.
This study looks at how well people who are overweight or obese can use their arms and breathe while performing a 6-minute pegboard and ring test. Researchers want to see if this test can help measure physical function in this group.
This trial tests if mixed reality (combining real and virtual worlds) performance tests are valid and reliable for overweight and obese adults. You may be able to help researchers improve these tests if you are overweight or obese.
