Calisthenics vs cycling for irritable bowel syndrome
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise—bodyweight calisthenics and cycling—to see if they help reduce inflammation and improve quality of life in young women with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It aims to find a simple, drug-free way to manage symptoms.
