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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study compares coordinated locomotor training—a movement technique that combines walking patterns with sprinter and skater positions—to traditional plyometric exercises for improving core stability and balance in novice runners. Twenty-eight runners aged 18 to 30 who run less than 10 miles per week and have less than one year of experience will be randomly assigned to one of the two training groups. Over 8 weeks, researchers will measure changes in core endurance, stability, and postural control to see which approach works better.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Coordinated locomotor training (exercise technique combining walking patterns with sprinter and skater positions)
What this could lead to
If effective, this training method could give coaches and runners a simple, evidence-based way to improve core stability and reduce injury risk.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to all runners. The training requires consistent attendance and may not outperform standard plyometric exercises.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 28 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 18 and 30 years * Running less than 10 miles (approximately 16 kilometers) per week * Not participating in running sports (such as soccer, track, or cross-country) more than once per week * Less than one year of consistent running experience * Male and female novice runners * Willing to provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * History of musculoskeletal injury (including fractures, ligament tears, or muscle strains) in the past six months * Diagnosed neurological disorders (such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease) * Diagnosed vestibular disorders (such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or labyrinthitis) * Presence of current pain, discomfort, or functional limitation during normal daily activities or athletic activities * Presence of cardiovascular disorders (such as uncontrolled hypertension or heart disease) that restrict moderate to high intensity physical activity * Presence of respiratory disorders (such as severe asthma or COPD) that restrict moderate to high intensity physical activity * Regular use of medications that affect neuromuscular performance, coordination, or balance (including sedatives, muscle relaxants, or antiepileptic drugs) * Pregnancy * Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude safe participation in exercise training
