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 form of brain stimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) combined with resistance exercises can help healthy young adults learn motor skills faster. If you are a right-handed young adult without certain health conditions, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method over two weeks to see if it improves memory and thinking in healthy young and older adults. It aims to help understand if this technique could benefit cognitive function.
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 tests whether different levels of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve how quickly healthy young adults learn new movement skills. It might help if you're interested in understanding how to boost motor learning.
