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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
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.

Summary

This study tests whether adding neuro-athletic training—exercises that challenge the nervous system with extra sensory input—to regular taekwondo practice can improve balance, agility, and jumping ability while reducing injury risk. Researchers will compare two groups of 13 athletes each: one doing standard training and one adding neuro-athletic drills. The trial focuses on athletes who have trained for at least two years and show a specific leg asymmetry that raises injury risk.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
neuro-athletic training
What this could lead to
If effective, this training approach could help taekwondo athletes improve performance and lower their risk of injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 26 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training may not outperform regular practice.

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.

Participants

About 26 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Oct 2025

Expected to finish

Oct 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

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.
