Can a basketball workout reveal the Body's hidden fatigue signals?
NCT ID NCT07752459
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how a basketball-style interval workout affects metabolism, inflammation, and fatigue in female basketball players aged 16 to 22. Participants will do a standardized shuttle-run test designed to mimic game demands, with blood samples and reaction-time checks taken before, right after, and during recovery. The goal is to better understand the body's acute responses to high-intensity exercise, which could help shape smarter training and recovery plans.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 (Yo-Yo IR1), a standardized maximal intermittent field exercise test
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could inform evidence-based training and recovery strategies to optimize performance and health in female basketball players.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study focused on acute physiological responses, so results may not apply broadly or predict long-term outcomes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Female, aged 16-22 years. * Regular participation in organized basketball training. * Current medical clearance for sports participation. * No contraindications to high-intensity physical exercise. * Willingness and ability to provide written informed consent (and parental/legal guardian consent where required for minors). * Willingness to comply with all study procedures. * Menstrual cycle phase will be recorded for all participants and considered as a potential covariate in the statistical analyses. Exclusion Criteria: * Current musculoskeletal injury or any condition preventing maximal exercise. * Metabolic, cardiovascular, inflammatory, or other chronic diseases affecting exercise capacity or study outcomes. * Current use of anti-inflammatory medications. * Use of supplements or substances that may influence the measured metabolic or inflammatory parameters. * Refusal to undergo blood sampling. * Failure to comply with pre-test instructions (e.g., dietary or exercise restrictions).
