Weekend exercise program for sedentary female students
This study tests whether doing a special exercise routine on weekends only can improve health in female university students who sit most of the day. It aims to see if a 'weekend warrior' pattern is a practical way to get benefits even if you don't exercise during the week.

This study tests if Mat Pilates helps young women who are not active feel more connected to their bodies and become more physically active. You may join if you are between 18 and 29, live a mostly inactive lifestyle, and have not exercised regularly in the last 2 months.
This study looks at how different types of exercise—like fast running or cycling (aerobic) and short, intense bursts (anaerobic)—affect your body's hormone levels, specifically thyroid hormones and cortisol. You'll do both types of exercise during the study, and we'll take small blood samples to see how your body responds. This could help us understand how fitness affects your hormones and overall health.
