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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial asks whether doing many short resistance-training sessions each week can build muscle and strength as effectively as fewer, longer workouts. Healthy, untrained young adults will be randomly assigned to either 10 brief gym sessions (about 8-12 minutes each) or 2 standard sessions (45-60 minutes) per week for 10 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in muscle size and strength to see if the two approaches produce similar results.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Resistance training (exercise) at two different frequencies: 10 short sessions per week vs. 2 longer sessions per week
What this could lead to
If brief, frequent workouts prove as effective as standard sessions, this could offer a time-efficient way to build muscle and strength, making exercise more accessible.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in healthy young adults, so results may not apply to other groups. The short duration and specific training protocol may also limit broader conclusions.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 40 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Jun 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
