This trial tests whether adding small-sided games—like 2v2 and 3v3 matches on reduced pitches—to regular training can boost aerobic endurance and passing accuracy in adolescent soccer players. Eighteen male players aged 17-18 will be split into two groups: one doing small-sided g…

This study tests whether epidural electrical stimulation, combined with a structured rehabilitation program, can improve functional independence in people with spinal cord injury affecting the conus region. Participants receive an implanted stimulator and undergo task-oriented ex…

This study checks whether the DeepClinic mobile app can accurately measure body posture compared to a professional system called APECS. About 50 physically active adults aged 18-45 will have their posture photographed from multiple angles. The app's measurements are compared to t…

This study looked at whether an 8-week program of corrective exercises could improve knee alignment and jumping mechanics in 23 female volleyball players aged 14-17. Half did the exercises, half kept their normal training. The goal was to see if these exercises could lower the ri…

This trial tests whether adding kinesio taping to a standard exercise program helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome more than exercise alone. Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, causing pain, numbness, and weakness. Participants wil…

This study tests whether a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear can reduce menstrual pain, depression, and anxiety in young women with primary dysmenorrhea (painful periods without an underlying condition). Participants receive either real or sham stimula…

This study looked at whether a 12-week core muscle training program could help teenage swimmers with limb amputations improve their trunk endurance and 50-meter freestyle time. Thirty swimmers were split into two groups: one did core training plus their usual swim practice, the o…

This study tested whether stimulating a nerve in the ear (taVNS) can help people with fibromyalgia feel better and exercise more. 90 adults with fibromyalgia were split into three groups: one-sided stimulation, both ears, or just a home exercise program. Over two weeks, researche…

This study tested whether a noninvasive device that stimulates a nerve in the ear (transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation) can help young athletes recover more quickly after sports activity. Forty healthy amateur football players aged 18-25 participated. The researchers measured …

This study tested whether a 6-week exercise program done via video calls could help people with long-term neck pain. Fifty adults with neck pain for at least 3 months took part. They did guided exercises online four times a week. Researchers measured pain, disability, sleep quali…

This study tests whether adding a weighted vest during plyometric warm-up exercises improves vertical jump height more than doing the same exercises without extra weight. Young male soccer players will perform both weighted and unweighted conditioning sessions, with jump performa…

This study investigates whether smartphone addiction is linked to reduced pinch strength, increased muscle stiffness, and hand or wrist pain in young adults. Researchers will measure thumb muscle stiffness and grip strength in 134 participants aged 18 to 25 who are heavy smartpho…

This study looks at whether core endurance and scapular control are linked to shoulder pain in adolescent female volleyball players aged 14 to 18. Participants will undergo tests for pain intensity, scapular movement, and trunk muscle endurance. The goal is to better understand f…

This observational study compares functional movement, dynamic balance, and lower body strength between 144 professional and amateur male soccer players. Participants undergo standardized tests like the Functional Movement Screen, Y-Balance Test, and jump and strength assessments…

This study looks at whether the ratio of a person's index finger to ring finger (2D:4D)—a marker of prenatal hormone exposure—relates to mental toughness in amateur soccer players. Researchers measured finger lengths and surveyed 270 players about their mental resilience. The goa…

This study looks at how young male basketball players (ages 12-18) perform lower-body movements like jumping and agility tests. Researchers use artificial intelligence to analyze performance data and identify patterns that might signal a higher risk of injury. The goal is to help…

This study investigates whether coordination-based exercise improves memory and attention in children aged 10 to 12 more than aerobic exercise. Seventy-eight healthy children are randomly assigned to aerobic training, coordination training, or their usual school activities for 14…

This study looked at how different core exercises affect serve and spike speed in elite young male volleyball players aged 11-14. Thirty-one players did either static (holding positions) or dynamic (moving) core exercises for six weeks. The goal was to see which type improves bal…

This completed study looked at 18 trained young male soccer players to see which muscle test best detects fatigue after a simulated soccer game. Players did jumping and strength tests before, right after, and 24 and 48 hours after the simulated activity. The goal was to find the …

This study looked at how two different training methods—short, intense sprints and small-sided games—affect the heart and lung fitness of teenage football players. Twenty-four boys aged 16-17 took part in an 8-week program. The goal was to see which method improved their body's a…

This study looked at 24 young female athletes to see if a simple measurement called the Q angle (taken while standing still) can predict how they land during sports. The goal was to find an easy way to screen for injury risk. Researchers measured the Q angle and compared it to la…

This study tested whether stimulating a nerve in the ear (vagus nerve) right after running helps the body recover faster. Sixty healthy young adults who don't exercise regularly took part. Researchers measured heart rate and lactic acid levels to see if the stimulation made a dif…

This study looked at whether measuring how fast you can lift a weight (velocity) and how much weight you can handle (load) can show how tired your muscles get from doing squats. Twenty-eight men who regularly lift weights did different squat routines, and their speed and load wer…

This study looked at 36 adults who needed gum graft surgery to see how their anxiety before the procedure affected their quality of life and pain during the first month after surgery. Researchers measured anxiety levels and asked patients daily about their oral health and comfort…

This study looked at two ways of doing resistance training in 20 male university athletes over 8 weeks. One group used a velocity-based approach (adjusting weights based on movement speed), while the other used a fixed percentage of their maximum strength. Researchers measured ju…

This study looked at how free gingival graft surgery—a procedure to add gum tissue—affects patient satisfaction and oral quality of life. 49 adults with thin gums had the surgery and filled out surveys about pain, comfort, and satisfaction. The goal was to see how the surgery imp…
