简要总结
This study, titled The Effect of Free Weight Resistance Training (FWRT) on Cognitive Function Explored through Eye Tracking, will be a randomized double-blind clinical trial aimed at evaluating how FWRT influences cognitive processing in healthy young adults. Eye-tracking technology will be used to measure reading metrics and DXA scans will be used to measure body composition before and after a 10-week FWRT intervention.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group, which will undergo a 10-week FWRT program, or a control group. This study will provide insights into the potential benefits of free weight resistance training on the cognitive performance of text processing tasks.

研究组 & 干预措施
Free Weight Resistance Training (FWRT)
Participants in the experimental group will engage in a 10-week free weight resistance training program. This program will consist of 3 weekly sessions, including exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses, among others. The training will focus on progressively increasing the intensity, working within a range of 60% to 80% of the one-repetition maximum (1RM).
干预措施: Resistance Training (Behavioral)
Control Group
Participants in the control group will not receive any intervention and will be instructed to continue with their usual daily routine. These participants will be evaluated pre- and post-intervention in the same manner as the experimental group but will not participate in the training program.
结局指标
主要结局
Cognitive Measures (Eye-Tracking Metrics)
时间窗: Up to 10 weeks post-intervention
Cognitive metrics (as text processing metrics) will be measured through an eye-tracking device (EyeLink Portable Duo), with the following key metrics: * First Pass Reading Times: Total time spent on fixations during the first pass of reading within an area of interest. * Total Reading Times: The sum of the durations of all fixations within an area of interest, including revisits to previously read areas. * Other eye-tracking or comprehension measures could also be used.
