Muscle:Time Trial Summary
This trial is testing whether variable resistance muscle training can improve bone, sleep, and quality of life in healthy adults age 30 or older.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy men and women aged 30 or older who can commit to a 6-month study, lift an office chair without difficulty, maintain a food diary, consume enough protein (about 2.2g/kg body weight daily), and do daily muscle training exercises. It's not for those with neurodegenerative diseases, pregnancy, limited mobility, severe uncontrolled health conditions like high blood pressure or heart disease, muscle atrophy disorders such as DMD or ALS, chronic steroid users, active hernia cases, pacemaker/defibrillator implants; people on certain dizziness-inducing medications; vegans/vegetarians; individuals with COPD or specific muscle diseases.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the impact of variable resistance strength training on bone health, sleep quality and overall life satisfaction in adults over the age of thirty. Participants will be asked to train regularly over six months while their progress is monitored through various tests and specimen collections at three intervals: start (0 months), middle (3 months), and end (6 months).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated in the provided information about this clinical trial focused on strength training interventions for musculoskeletal health improvement in adults over thirty years old typically does not involve medicinal side effects but may include muscle soreness or injury if exercises are performed improperly.
