What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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 stretching the whole body or only the lower limbs affects explosive power and agility. Researchers will assign 60 healthy university students to one of three groups: full-body stretching, lower-limb stretching, or no stretching. Each session lasts 14 minutes. Participants then perform jumps and agility tests to measure their performance.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Static stretching routines (full-body or lower-limb)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help refine warm-up routines for athletes and physical therapy strategies to boost explosive power and agility.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in healthy students, so results may not apply to athletes or injured people. Stretching effects on performance can be subtle and vary by individual.
