What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

Researchers are testing whether an AI-personalized digital exercise programme helps university students stick with exercise better than a standard digital programme. About 300 students at Transilvania University of Brașov are randomly assigned to one of the two 8-week programmes. The AI version adjusts weekly recommendations based on each participant's adherence, readiness, pain, and performance, while the standard version stays fixed. The study measures weekly exercise adherence, physical activity, wellbeing, jump performance, and safety.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
an AI-personalized digital exercise programme that adjusts weekly workout recommendations
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward digital exercise tools that keep people moving by adapting to their progress and setbacks.
What could go wrong
This is an 8-week study in university students, so results may not apply to other groups or last beyond the program. Personalized apps can also fail if participants lose interest or find the recommendations impractical.
