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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This completed study tested a 12-week high-intensity interval strength training program in 164 older adults living in nursing homes who have sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). The program used simple exercises adapted to their living environment. Researchers measured changes in hand grip strength, muscle mass, and physical performance to see if this type of training could help manage sarcopenia.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
high-intensity interval strength training (exercise programme)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective exercise program to help older adults in nursing homes maintain muscle strength and physical function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 164 participants, so results may not apply to all older adults. Exercise programs require ongoing effort and may not work for everyone.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * older adults who have been institutionalized for at least one year * older adults who are institutionalized with clinical suspicion of sarcopenia according to the Sarc-F questionnaire and muscle strength criteria * older adults residing in the community of Extremadura. Exclusion Criteria: * present cognitive impairment (score \<24 Mini-Mental State Examination) * primary, serious, or chronic diseases that could explain the decrease in muscle strength and the other diagnostic variables of the participants * diseases or physical disorders that hinder the assessment of the participants; -use of drugs that may affect muscle strength and mass.
