NCT ID NCT05425303
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is creating a computer model to predict hamstring injuries in male football and handball players. Researchers will measure athletes' flexibility, strength, and other factors before the season, then track who gets injured. The goal is to find patterns that could help prevent injuries in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a tool that helps coaches and trainers design better injury prevention programs for athletes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study with only 99 male athletes, so the model may not work for other groups or sports. It does not test any treatment.
