Understanding how effort perception affects physical activity levels

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 study investigates the relationship between neural correlates of effort perception and engagement in physical activity. It aims to explore how the perception of effort influences individuals' willingness to participate in physical activities, particularly in the context of rising physical inactivity rates. By utilizing techniques such as fMRI, EEG, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, the research seeks to clarify the neuropsychological mechanisms behind effort perception and its impact on physical activity engagement. The ultimate goal is to identify strategies that can help reduce the perception of effort, thereby encouraging a more active lifestyle.
