How exercise affects brain flexibility in healthy adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how physical exercise might change the way the brain adapts and stays flexible in healthy younger and older adults. You may be able to join to help researchers understand how staying active keeps the brain sharp.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial uses a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see how it affects how people process information. It may help researchers understand brain function in healthy younger and older adults.
This study uses a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) to see if it can improve physical function and daily activities in older adults who are showing early signs of frailty. You will be asked to do some simple exercises and cognitive tasks while receiving or not receiving the stimulation.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with strength training can help healthy young adults learn new movements faster. It is a good fit if you are right-handed and have no vision, reading, heart, or mental health issues.
This study tests how a mild electrical brain stimulation called tDCS might help healthy young adults learn new motor skills. You'll receive either active or sham tDCS while practicing a hand movement task over 4 weeks.
This study looks at how a gentle electrical current applied to the head (called brain stimulation) combined with exercise affects your body and mood. It may help researchers understand how these two treatments work together to improve brain health.
This study combines brain stimulation with physical exercise to see if it can improve thinking and memory in people with schizophrenia. You will get both treatments and be tested on cognitive functions.
