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 Results may not be published yet.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 looks at how a 9-week low-volume, high-intensity training block affects finswimmers' race performance. Seven athletes from Colombia will follow a training plan focused on their specific race pace. Researchers will track changes in race times, swimming speed, and how the athletes feel during training. The goal is to see if this approach can improve performance without high training volumes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
low-volume high-intensity race-pace finswimming training
What this could lead to
If successful, this training approach could help finswimmers improve their race times with less training volume.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase study with only 7 participants and no control group, so results may not apply to other athletes.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
