Custom workouts aim to keep college athletes Injury-Free
NCT ID NCT07521215
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether an 8-week personalized exercise program can reduce injury risk in 100 university basketball and volleyball players. Athletes who score below certain thresholds on balance, strength, and flexibility tests will receive tailored exercises. Researchers will then track injuries over a 6-month season to see if the program helps prevent them.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- individualized exercise program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a practical, low-cost way to prevent sports injuries in young athletes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, non-randomized study with no blinding, so results may be biased. The 6-month follow-up is short for assessing long-term injury prevention.
