Study summary

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence of things (AIoT)-based exercise system for seniors. Participants will undergo a 12-week AIoT-based cycle ergometer training program. Physical fitness and functional performance will be assessed at baseline and after completion of the intervention. Throughout the intervention, exercise-related data, including exercise duration, workload, heart rate, oxygen consumption, perceived exertion, and facial expressions, will be continuously and simultaneously collected for analysis.

Read the detailed description

At baseline (Week 0), participants will undergo a personal health assessment and physical fitness evaluation. The health assessment includes the collection of demographic information, medical history, and general health status. The physical fitness assessment includes measurement of body composition, muscle strength, balance, flexibility, walking speed, and other relevant physical fitness measures.

Following the baseline assessment, the participants will undergo the exercise program based on an AIoT-based exercise system twice weekly for 12 weeks. blood pressure will assessed before each exercise for safety concern. At Week 13, participants will undergo the same evaluations conducted at baseline. In addition, a user experience questionnaire will be administered.

During the exercise sessions, exercise-related metrics, including workload, cadence (revolutions per minute, RPM), exercise duration, heart rate, and facial action units (AUs), will be continuously recorded in real time. Ratings of perceived exertion will also be collected at regular intervals throughout the exercise sessions.

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Feb 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jul 2028, 29 months after the start.

Of 5,147 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Motor Activity, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36. This study's planned 29 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 5,207 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 26, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
