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

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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 trial tests whether a supervised exercise program—including aerobic, strength, and balance training—given to adults aged 75 and older during a hospital stay can prevent disability and improve recovery. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either usual care or the exercise program. Researchers track physical function, daily living skills, cognition, mood, and quality of life up to three months after discharge.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a supervised multicomponent exercise program (aerobic, strength, and balance training) during hospitalization
What this could lead to
If effective, this exercise program could become a standard way to prevent disability and speed recovery in older hospitalized patients.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 300 participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals or patients. Some older adults may find the exercises too challenging.
