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 Results may not be published yet.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 compares two types of unstable core training—static and dynamic—to see which better improves balance, trunk muscle strength, and paddling performance in young male sprint kayakers. Twenty-four athletes aged 14 to 22 will train three times a week for 12 weeks, with their balance, strength, and stroke power measured before and after. The goal is to find out if one training style offers a clear advantage for kayaking performance.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Static and dynamic unstable core training exercises (e.g., planks on BOSU balls, Swiss ball crunches)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify the most effective core training method to boost balance, trunk strength, and paddling power for sprint kayakers.
What could go wrong
The trial is small (24 participants) and specific to young male kayakers, so results may not apply broadly. It also doesn't measure real-world race outcomes directly.
