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 Results may not be published yet.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 study looked at how two different high-intensity interval training (HIIT) methods affect physical performance in competitive table tennis players. Twenty-four male athletes aged 18-24 were split into two groups: one did calisthenic/plyometric exercises (like jumping and bodyweight moves) and the other used kettlebells. Both groups trained three times a week for eight weeks, and researchers measured changes in agility, flexibility, jump height, and sprint speed.

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) programs: calisthenic/plyometric exercises or kettlebell exercises
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show which type of HIIT best improves agility, flexibility, and sprint performance for table tennis players.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 24 male participants, so results may not apply to female athletes or other sports. The findings are specific to young, competitive players.
