Default More info on the new trial
The Clinical Trials website has a trial record for the new "Pragmatic CYCLE" trial. My guess is that they have added the word "pragmatic" because the Peloton bikes they will be using are normal spin bikes (i.e. no motor). PwPs in the high-intensity home exercise group will be given an aerobic-intensity target range of 60-80 percent of heart rate reserve, and a cadence target range of 80-90 RPM.

Estimated Study Completion Date: September 1, 2024
