Comparing two exercise plans for overweight young adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise—short bursts of high-intensity activity versus longer moderate activity—to see which works better for improving health in overweight young adults. If you qualify, you'll follow a 12-week exercise program to help you get fitter.

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.
This study compares two different exercise programs to see which one helps young women with obesity lose weight more effectively. If you are a woman aged 18–45 with a BMI between 30 and 40 and you are not on certain medications, this trial may be a good fit for you.
This study tests two short, efficient exercise programs – brief 'exercise snacks' and sprint interval training – to see which works better for reducing weight and improving health in overweight adults. If you are a young adult who is overweight and not very active, this trial may help you find a simpler way to get fit.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve heart health and fitness in young adults with obesity. You would participate in a supervised exercise program to see if it helps lower your risk of future health problems.
This study compares two exercise programs—high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT)—to see how they affect heart health, hormone balance, and mood in young adults aged 18-21. The goal is to help people find the best way to improve their physical and mental well-being.
This study compares two types of supervised exercise programs for people with heart disease: one with short bursts of high-intensity exercise (interval training) and one with a steady moderate pace. The goal is to see which better improves your heart's ability to work efficiently during exercise.
