This trial tests whether wearing sports shoes (like athletic shoes) affects your walking ability during a 6-minute walk test. It's for people with COPD who are in a rehabilitation program, to see if shoe type can help them walk further or breathe easier.
This study looks at whether showing you air pollution levels during your exercise rehabilitation can help you stay healthy. You'll wear a Fitbit and use an app on your phone to track your walks and the air quality around you.
This study looks at how exercise changes tiny particles in your blood (extracellular vesicles) and improves your physical fitness. It's for people who are overweight and not very active.
This study tests a new step-based exercise test to see if it works as well as a standard bike test for measuring fitness and breathing. If you are a healthy adult, you might join to help validate this simpler test.
This study compares how far healthy people can walk in six minutes when they are at high altitude versus at low altitude. It might help us learn how living at high altitudes affects fitness and exercise capacity.
This study looks at whether short bursts of exercise throughout the day (called 'exercise snacks') can improve blood vessel health and body composition in young adults who are overweight. If you qualify, you'd try these mini-workouts and we'd measure how your body responds.
