The BrainFit Study aims to examine acute effects of High Intensity Interval- vs Resistance or Combined program has benefits on Cognitive Function as well as on secretion and regulation of neurotrophic factors or neurotrophins in a cohort of sedentary, overweight adults (aged 18-30 years) from Bogota, Colombia.
3,670 studies on the registry are indexed under Overweight; 849 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 60 is below the median of 73 across 3,175 interventional studies indexed under Overweight.
