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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial tests whether adding a light bench press exercise during rest periods between heavy squat sets affects how high competitive basketball players can jump afterward. Half the participants will do squats only, while the other half will also do bench presses during recovery. Jump height and power are measured before and up to 12 minutes after the squats to see if the extra exercise changes the post-activation performance boost.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Back squat conditioning activity with optional bench press during recovery
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point to more efficient warm-up routines that boost explosive power in athletes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in a specific group of athletes, so results may not apply broadly. The added bench press could also interfere with recovery and reduce performance.
