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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study investigates whether a four-week tablet-based cognitive training program can enhance executive functions—like attention, memory, and flexibility—and improve on-court decision-making in adolescent female volleyball players aged 12 to 14. Fifty licensed players are randomly assigned to either continue their regular training or add three weekly 20-30 minute cognitive training sessions. Researchers measure changes in cognitive tests and volleyball-specific decision accuracy to see if brain training transfers to real-game performance.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Tablet-based cognitive training
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a simple, non-invasive way to boost cognitive skills and decision-making in young athletes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 50 participants. The training is short-term, and improvements may not transfer to real-game performance or last beyond the study period.
