Summary

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.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Resistance Training	Participants in the experimental group will perform free weight resistance training sessions focused on push, pull, and leg movement patterns. The program will last for 10 weeks, progressively increasing in load and intensity. The intervention will be designed to improve the participants' physical strength and observe how these changes affect their cognitive performance.
