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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 study compares two methods of prescribing high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for people in cardiac rehabilitation. Thirty adults with heart conditions will follow a 12-week exercise program to see which prescription approach improves fitness, heart function, and oxygen use better. The goal is to find the most effective way to help heart patients recover through exercise.

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 training (HIIT) exercise program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors prescribe better exercise routines for heart patients, leading to improved fitness and recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all heart patients. The exercise program may be too intense for some.
