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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a 6-week supervised pool exercise program can improve muscle strength, mass, and quality of life in adults aged 65 and older with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will do 15 sessions of water-based exercises over 6 weeks. Researchers will measure muscle thickness, strength, and physical performance before, after, and one month later.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Aquatic exercise program (pool-based exercises)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a safe, effective way for older adults with sarcopenia to improve muscle strength and quality of life without the challenges of land-based exercise.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is short (6 weeks), and benefits might not last long-term.
