Cognitive Control to Boost Physical Activity Adherence
NCT06338774 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This trial is designed to develop and test the efficacy of cognitive training strategies to improve self-regulatory capacities for middle-aged adults to adopt and sustain a physically active lifestyle. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can cognitive training designed to improve cognitive control improve physical activity adherence? * What are the psychological, physiological, cognitive, and sociodemographic factors that affect the impact of cognitive control on physical activity adherence? Participants will * Complete a 6-week home-based, computerized cognitive training program * Complete a 6-week home-based, aerobic exercise training program with supervision of a health coach and trainer * Complete a 6-week home-based, aerobic exercise training program prescribed by a health coach and trainer * Visit the laboratory before and after cognitive training, and before and after physical training, to complete assessments of cognition and aerobic fitness

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06338774
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06338774 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 264 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Iowa, which has 156 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Physical Inactivity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Exercise is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06338774 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Iowa, Massachusetts. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
