Exercise snacks for health and thinking in intellectual disability
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests short bursts of exercise (called 'exercise snacks') to see if they improve physical health and thinking skills in adults with mild to moderate intellectual disability. If you join, you would do simple exercises and help researchers understand how they affect your body and brain.

This study tests whether a special exercise program can improve fitness and health in students with intellectual disabilities. It is designed for students who are not already involved in other physical activities outside of school sports.
This study tests whether regular physical exercise can improve memory and thinking skills in people 65 and older who have mild cognitive impairment. Researchers want to see if staying active helps protect brain function.
This study tests two different exercise programs to see which one better improves fitness and quality of life for people with intellectual disabilities. You'll participate in structured physical activity sessions over several weeks.
This study tests whether taking short, frequent 'activity snacks' (like quick walks or simple exercises) throughout the day can help older adults who are overweight or obese stay healthy and independent. Participants will do these activities in their community and get support from a coach.
This study tests whether short 'exercise snacks' (brief bursts of activity throughout the day) can improve your heart and metabolic health. It's for people who are currently not very active and want to see if small, frequent exercise breaks can make a difference.
This study tests whether short bursts of strength-building exercises—done at different times throughout the day—can improve leg strength and thinking skills in older adults who are starting to become frail. You would do these exercises for 8 weeks and complete some simple tests.
