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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study looks at whether putting elastic tape on the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) before high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve fitness. Thirty trained adults will do an 8-week cycling program, with half also getting the tape. Researchers will measure changes in aerobic capacity, anaerobic power, and balance to see if the tape adds any benefit.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Diaphragmatic kinesio taping and high-intensity interval training (HIIT)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that kinesio taping on the diaphragm boosts breathing efficiency and exercise performance in athletes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 healthy, trained participants. Results may not apply to the general population or those with health conditions.
