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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looks at whether a special breathing warm-up can temporarily strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, helping athletes during exercise. About 28 trained athletes aged 14-30 will try three conditions: a breathing warm-up, a fake warm-up, and no warm-up. Researchers will measure breathing muscle strength before, during, and after treadmill running to see how long any benefit lasts.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Inspiratory muscle warm-up using a breathing resistance device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple pre-exercise breathing routine to help athletes perform better.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 28 athletes. The placebo effect may explain any benefits, and results may not apply to all sports or non-athletes.
