Nerve stretches may speed recovery of Hand-Eye coordination in athletes
NCT ID NCT07682103
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether gentle nerve stretches (neural mobilization) can help amateur athletes recover upper arm performance and hand-eye coordination after a fatiguing workout. About 45 athletes aged 18 to 25 who play sports like basketball or tennis will do an arm fatigue exercise, then receive either nerve stretches, dynamic stretching, or passive rest. Their coordination and arm function are tested right after to see which recovery method works best.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- neural mobilization (nerve stretches)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, neural mobilization could become a quick recovery technique for athletes to regain coordination and performance after intense exercise.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study in healthy amateur athletes, so results may not apply to other groups or real competition settings. The effects are measured immediately, not over time.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged between 18 and 25 years * Amateur athlete participating in a sport requiring active use of the upper extremity, such as basketball, volleyball, tennis, or table tennis * Able to understand and perform the fatigue protocol, recovery intervention, and outcome assessments * Volunteered to participate and provided written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Current upper extremity, cervical, or trunk pain or injury that could affect test performance * History of upper extremity surgery, fracture, or major musculoskeletal trauma that could limit participation * Neurological, vestibular, or systemic condition affecting upper extremity function, balance, coordination, or exercise tolerance * Any cardiovascular, respiratory, or medical condition contraindicating participation in fatiguing upper extremity exercise * Inability to complete the fatigue protocol or outcome assessments safely
