Exercise Program for Video Gamers' Reaction Time and Mouse Accuracy
This study is looking at how a 6-week exercise program, called "Resistance combined with cardiovascular training," might improve reaction time and mouse accuracy in people who play video games. The program involves exercising three days a week, with lower body resistance training on Mondays and aerobic exercise on Wednesdays. Researchers will measure your reaction time and mouse accuracy at the beginning of the study and again after 6 weeks to see if there are any changes. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, play video games for at least one hour a week, and are a University of Miami College or Miller School of Medicine student. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status, but aims to enroll 15 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with an aim to include 15 participants. It is designed to see the effects of an exercise program.
- What's involved
- You would participate in a 6-week exercise program, exercising three days a week. Your reaction time and mouse accuracy will be measured at the start and end of the program.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for up to 6 weeks after starting the program to measure changes in reaction time and mouse accuracy.

What this trial measures
- Change in participants' physical reaction timeBaseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program
Participants' reaction time will be measured in milliseconds using open-source software "Open-source open-access reaction time test"
- Change in percentage of participants' mouse click accuracyBaseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program
Participants' mouse click accuracy will be measured as a percentage using a web-based program, "Mouse Accuracy"
