Stress responses in college students with different activity levels
This study looks at how different activity levels affect the body's automatic stress responses in healthy college students. Researchers compare groups with no athletic training to those with confirmed training to see how physical activity changes stress patterns.

This trial tests a stress management program for college students. You will learn stress-reducing skills and use a heart rate monitor to see how your body responds.
This trial tests how beta-blockers affect your body's reaction to stress. You'll take a beta-blocker or placebo and then do a stress task, so researchers can measure inflammation and other responses.
This study looks at how different types of exercise affect stress and fitness at the cellular level. It may help young men who already exercise regularly learn more about how their bodies respond to aerobic and anaerobic workouts.
This study tests whether a physical exercise program can help college students with early signs of metabolic issues (like high blood sugar or blood pressure) improve their health. Participants will follow a supervised exercise routine for several weeks to see if it helps regulate their metabolism.
This trial measures how medical students' bodies respond to stress during realistic, simulated conversations with patients. It uses wearable monitors to track heart rate and other signals, and the results might help improve how future doctors are trained to handle stressful interactions.
This study compares two types of exercise training to see which better improves heart and lung fitness, hormone balance, and mental health in young adults who are currently sedentary or only moderately active.
