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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether a new equation can accurately predict a person's one-repetition maximum (the heaviest weight they can lift once) using easier, submaximal tests. Researchers will compare the predicted values to actual max lifts in 120 young and older adults. The goal is to make strength testing safer and more practical for everyone, especially older adults and beginners.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
resistance exercise tests
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a safer, easier way to measure strength in older adults and beginners, improving exercise prescription.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study with only 120 participants. The new equation may not be accurate for everyone, and results may not apply to other exercises or populations.
