An interventional study of Sitting and Light-Intensity Cycling in Physical Activity, sponsored by Western University, Canada. Completed at 1 site in Canada. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 64 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-05-06.

This study will examine whether 10-minute bouts of cycling at various intensities will impact executive functioning (i.e., cognitive ability) as assessed by the antisaccade (AS) task through a total of five visits. An antisaccade is a rapid eye movement away from a visual target. The ability to suppress making an eye movement towards a visual target gauges inhibitory control (i.e., a domain of executive functioning). In the initial visit, participants' exercise capacity will be assessed through a maximal effort cycling test. Intensities for the cycling bouts (i.e., high, moderate, low) in subsequent sessions will be based upon this maximal effort cycling test. In visits 2 through 5, participants will complete an AS task, followed by a 10-minute bout of cycling, and then complete the AS task again. The order of cycling intensities will be randomized between participants. Differences in the AS task (i.e., reaction time and accuracy) will be compared between and within cycling conditions.

Ran from Jul 2018 to primary completion in Dec 2018, 5 months.
Of 1,726 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Motor Activity, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 47. This study's 5 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,738 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 47.
