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 Results may not be published yet.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 trial tests whether breathing rapidly for two minutes before a 30-second all-out cycling sprint can improve anaerobic performance. Healthy male athletes aged 18 to 26 with at least three years of training will do the sprint twice, once after hyperventilation and once without. Researchers will measure peak and average power output, along with breathing and heart rate responses, to see if the breathing technique makes a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pre-exercise voluntary hyperventilation (breathing at 30 breaths per minute for 2 minutes before a 30-second Wingate test)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple breathing technique to help athletes boost short, intense performance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study in healthy athletes, so results may not apply to others. Hyperventilation can cause dizziness or tingling, and the performance benefit is uncertain.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 26 years

Sex
