Exercise program to improve reaction time and mouse accuracy in recreational video game players

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This single-site interventional study enrolls adult University of Miami students who play video games at least one hour per week and are able to participate in full-body exercise. Participants follow a supervised exercise program combining resistance and cardiovascular training while researchers measure changes in reaction time and mouse-click accuracy before and after the program. Safety screening excludes people with medical issues that make exercise unsafe and those who cannot follow instructions in English. The study takes place at the University of Miami and focuses on performance-relevant outcomes and quality of life measures.
