Strength training timing to prevent antipsychotic weight gain
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if doing resistance training at a specific time of day can help prevent the metabolic side effects (like weight gain and blood sugar changes) caused by antipsychotic medications in people recently diagnosed with psychosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
