New study tests exercise combo to fix ankle instability in table tennis players

NCT ID NCT07671170

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a 6-week exercise program combining strength and balance training can help table tennis players aged 15-30 who have unstable ankles and fear of movement. Participants will be split into two groups: one does strength plus balance exercises, the other does balance plus core exercises. The goal is to see which approach better reduces fear, improves stability, and boosts performance.

Active substance

exercise program (strength and balance training)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a simple, non-drug exercise program to help athletes with ankle instability move better and fear less.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 51 participants, so results may not apply to all athletes. The exercises may not work better than standard training.
