What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at how four different ways of sitting—from a regular chair to an exercise chair used actively—affect your muscles, seated pressure, thinking speed, and calorie burn. Healthy adults aged 18 to 70 will try each sitting position while researchers measure muscle activity, tissue pressure, cognitive performance, and energy use. The goal is to understand whether active sitting offers benefits over passive sitting for both body and mind.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Chaircise exercise program using a specialized chair with a foot lever
What this could lead to
If active sitting proves better for focus and energy, it could point toward healthier desk setups that boost productivity and reduce injury risk.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study in healthy adults (ages 18–70). Results may not apply to people with medical conditions or to real-world office environments.
