Aerobic exercise for immune health in older adults
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study examines whether a simple aerobic exercise program (like walking or light aerobics) can help strengthen the immune system of older adults living in care homes. If you qualify, you would join a regular group exercise class, and researchers will check how your immune cells change over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years or older.
- You live in a long-term care home or similar institution.
- You have not had major surgery or a serious injury in the last 6 months.
- You do not currently have an acute infection (such as a cold, stomach bug, or urinary infection).
- You have not received a vaccine in the past month.
- You are not taking medications that affect your immune system (like steroids, methotrexate, or biologic drugs).

This trial tests whether a combination of a supplement and moderate exercise can help keep your immune system strong and healthy as you age. It is for older adults who are independent and generally healthy.
This study looks at how different older adults respond to exercise. It will help researchers understand why some people benefit more than others. You will be asked to do supervised exercise sessions and tests over about 6 months.
This study tests whether a resistance training program (like lifting weights) combined with a supplement can improve heart, lung, and metabolic health in older adults. The goal is to find ways to help seniors stay healthier and more active.
This study looks at how the immune system works in people 60 and older, especially when they have an infection. Researchers want to understand why some older adults get sick more easily and develop better ways to prevent infections.
This study compares the health of older adults (over 55) who have been very active their entire adult lives with those who have been mostly inactive. The goal is to see how exercise affects muscle, nerves, and immune-metabolic health over time.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program can help older adults age better. It is for people who are 60+ and have some mild issues with mobility, thinking, or mood, but are otherwise healthy enough to exercise safely.
