Study Summary

This trial is testing if training the brain can improve physical performance.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy active duty soldiers aged 18-40 who can participate for the entire study duration. It's not suitable for pregnant women, those who failed a fitness test, have physical limitations preventing intense exercise or cognitive tasks, impaired cognition from medication or illness, or were advised against aerobic exercise.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Brain-Physical Optimization Conditioning (B-POC) with two levels of intensity: high load and low load interventions. B-POC combines physical endurance training with cognitive challenges to improve overall performance under stress.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves physical and cognitive exercises rather than medications, side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue from intense workouts, and potential stress due to challenging cognitive tasks.
