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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial tests whether a home-delivered exercise toolkit — including a smartwatch, resistance bands, and a printed guide — can improve physical fitness in inactive adults aged 65 and older. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the toolkit alone, the toolkit plus remote specialist support, or usual care. The study measures changes in strength, balance, and mobility over 12 weeks, with follow-up at one year.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a home-delivered exercise toolkit including a smartwatch, resistance bands, exercise mat, and printed guide
What this could lead to
If effective, this low-cost toolkit could offer a practical way for older adults to improve physical fitness at home without expensive equipment or frequent clinic visits.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (201 participants) with a short 12-week intervention, so results may not apply broadly. Participants were inactive but otherwise healthy, limiting generalizability to frailer older adults.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

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

201 people

The number who actually took part.

Finished

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.

Ages

65 years and older

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: * Participants were eligible if they were aged 65 years or older and able to undertake physical activity safely, with no contraindications to increasing their physical activity level Exclusion Criteria: * Participants were excluded if they met any of the following criteria: * Institutionalized or housebound; * Three or more falls, or one or more falls requiring medical attention, in the previous year; * Terminal illness; * Cognitive impairment precluding the ability to follow simple instructions; * Blindness; * New onset within the previous three months of conditions such as chest pain, myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft, or angioplasty; * Chronic or acute conditions that contraindicated increased physical activity, such as pneumonia, acute rheumatoid arthritis, unstable or acute heart failure, significant neurological disease or impairment, inability to move about independently, or severe psychiatric disorders; * Already physically active, defined as self-reported attainment of any of the three public health physical activity recommendations for older adults (aerobic activity, muscle-strengthening activity, or balance training), because the intervention was specifically designed for inactive older adults.
