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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether velocity-based training (VBT) — a method that adjusts weights in real time based on how fast an athlete moves — improves physical fitness and gymnastics skills more than standard resistance training. Sixty college aerobic gymnasts in Henan, China, will follow either VBT or conventional training for eight weeks. Researchers will measure changes in strength, power, agility, balance, and performance on specific gymnastics elements like jumps, turns, and holds.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
velocity-based training (VBT) — a resistance training method that adjusts loads in real time based on movement speed
What this could lead to
If VBT proves superior, it could offer gymnasts a more precise, feedback-driven way to boost power, strength, and routine scores.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial in one sport at one university. Results may not apply to other athletes or settings, and the 8-week duration may be too short to show lasting gains.

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

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: 1. College aerobics athletes. 2. Participants must have received at least one year of training in a Henan provincial college training team and be a formal aerobic gymnast in a Shandong provincial college. 3. Participants must have participated in the Henan provincial aerobic gymnastics national team selection competition. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participants have high levels of asymmetry due to congenital physical dysplasia (Smith, 2020). 2. History of sports injuries within the past year and continuous treatment. 3. Participants who cannot complete the entire experimental training due to participating in the professional competition schedule.
