Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study, titled The Effect of Free Weight Resistance Training (FWRT) on Cognitive Function Explored through Eye Tracking, will be a randomized double-blind clinical trial aimed at evaluating how FWRT influences cognitive processing in healthy young adults. Eye-tracking technology will be used to measure reading metrics and DXA scans will be used to measure body composition before and after a 10-week FWRT intervention.

Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group, which will undergo a 10-week FWRT program, or a control group. This study will provide insights into the potential benefits of free weight resistance training on the cognitive performance of text processing tasks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Free Weight Resistance Training (FWRT)

Participants in the experimental group will engage in a 10-week free weight resistance training program. This program will consist of 3 weekly sessions, including exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses, among others. The training will focus on progressively increasing the intensity, working within a range of 60% to 80% of the one-repetition maximum (1RM).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Resistance Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants in the experimental group will perform free weight resistance training sessions focused on push, pull, and leg movement patterns. The program will last for 10 weeks, progressively increasing in load and intensity. The intervention will be designed to improve the participants' physical strength and observe how these changes affect their cognitive performance.

Control Group

Participants in the control group will not receive any intervention and will be instructed to continue with their usual daily routine. These participants will be evaluated pre- and post-intervention in the same manner as the experimental group but will not participate in the training program.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
