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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

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
