Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Exercise on its own pages , computed from the registry mirror as of 2026-08-08. Each line carries its own denominator so it can be quoted as it stands.

  1. Exercise recruits in line with its size-band peers.

    24 of 58 indexed trials (41.4%) are open to enrollment, against a 39.7% average across 762 conditions with 20-99 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. Sponsorship of Exercise trials is spread across many organizations.

    Arizona State University accounts for 4 of 58 trials (6.9%). 48 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Exercise trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 50 among the 58 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 36 of those (62.1%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Exercise research is mostly interventional.

    53 interventional and 5 observational studies make up this index (91.4% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
