Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the effect of resistance training on physical fitness, cognitive ability, and academic performance in young adults. This would be a randomized controlled trail in which participants will be randomly allocated in to two groups. One group will perform resistance training and other group will perform balance and general body toning exercises.


Clinical Trial Description

In recent years, the relationship between physical fitness, cognitive ability, and academic performance has garnered significant attention in the fields of education, psychology, and sports science. Young adulthood represents a critical developmental period characterized by substantial physical, cognitive, and psychological changes. During this phase, individuals are often engaged in academic pursuits, which makes understanding the impact of various interventions on physical fitness, cognitive ability, and academic performance especially relevant. While individual studies have explored the effects of resistance training on physical fitness, cognitive ability, and academic performance separately, there remains a gap in the literature concerning a comprehensive understanding of their interconnectedness in the context of young adults. This study aims to bridge this gap by investigating the potential causal relationship between resistance training and these multifaceted outcomes. This randomized controlled trial will recruit participants from young population. Study participants will be randomized into two groups: Group-A and Group-B. Group-A participants would receive resistance training for 3 consecutive months, while Group-B participants would follow general fitness and body toning exercises. Physical fitness, cognitive ability and academic performance will be measured at the baseline and after the termination of intervention program. ;
