Exercise types and hormone changes in inactive women
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is testing whether different types of exercise change certain hormones in the blood (irisin, leptin, and ghrelin) that help control metabolism and appetite. If you are a woman who doesn't exercise much, joining could help you learn about how exercise affects your body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman
- You must be sedentary (not regularly active) right now
- You must volunteer to take part
- You must be able and willing to go to the planned exercise sessions

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.
This study looks at how everyday physical activity affects metabolism in healthy women. It may help researchers understand how to improve metabolic health through daily movement.
This study looks at how endurance exercise changes fat cells in the body. It may help understand how exercise benefits weight-related health.
This study looks at how starting exercise changes the structure and function of body fat. It may help you understand how exercise affects things like cholesterol and blood sugar, even if you’re not currently exercising regularly.
This trial tests how different sex hormone levels affect the body's response to physical training. It may help explain why exercise works differently for different people.
This study looks at whether exercise and long periods without food (fasting) can help improve brown fat—a type of body fat that burns calories to generate heat. If you are a postmenopausal woman who is inactive and overweight, you may be able to join and help researchers understand how these lifestyle changes affect your health.
