NCT ID NCT07133841

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether thermal imaging (a camera that measures body heat) can reliably assess injury risk in volleyball players. Researchers compared thermal images with standard performance tests like vertical jumps and balance assessments in 33 amateur and professional players. The goal was to see if thermography could be a simple, non-invasive tool for injury prevention.

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 thermal imaging proves reliable, it could offer a quick, non-invasive way to spot injury risks in athletes.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed study with only 33 participants. Results may not apply to all athletes or sports, and thermal imaging may not be accurate enough to replace current methods.
