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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 the barbell back squat or the barbell hip thrust is better for building glute muscle and strength. About 39 young, untrained adults will train twice a week for nine weeks with one of the two exercises. Researchers will measure muscle size with MRI and strength with weightlifting tests to see if one exercise leads to greater gains.

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 (barbell back squat or barbell hip thrust)
What this could lead to
If one exercise proves superior, it could help people choose more effective workouts for glute development and strength.
What could go wrong
This is a small, short-term study in untrained young adults, so results may not apply to everyone or predict long-term outcomes.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18-30 years * Body mass index (BMI) less than 30 kg/m² * Minimal resistance training experience, defined as averaging ≤1 day per week of resistance training over the preceding 5 years * Willing and able to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Participation in structured endurance training (e.g., running or cycling) more than 2 days per week over the past 6 months * Known overt cardiovascular or metabolic disease * Use of supplemental creatine and/or hormone-altering agents (e.g., testosterone boosters, growth hormone boosters) within the past 2 months * Any medical condition that would contraindicate participation in an exercise program * Any condition precluding MRI scanning (e.g., medically implanted devices)
