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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether short, frequent bursts of exercise—called exercise snacks—can improve cognitive function and physical health in adults with mild to moderate intellectual disability. Participants will try three approaches: exercise snacks, a single session of high-intensity interval training, and their usual daily routine. Researchers will measure changes in attention, executive function, and brain activity to see if these mini-workouts offer a feasible way to counter the sedentary lifestyles common in this population.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Exercise snacks (short bursts of high-intensity exercise) and conventional high-intensity interval training (HIIT)
What this could lead to
If effective, brief exercise snacks could offer a practical way to improve cognitive function and physical health in adults with intellectual disabilities.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage crossover study (24 participants) measuring short-term effects, so results may not generalize or translate into lasting benefits.

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 24 people

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

Expected to start

Nov 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Feb 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.
