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 Results may not be published yet.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 looks at how different versions of the single-leg bridge exercise affect muscle activation when done on a mat versus a reformer Pilates machine. Using surface EMG, researchers will measure activity in key trunk and leg muscles under various spring resistances. The goal is to understand which variations best engage muscles, which could inform exercise programming for fitness and rehabilitation.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Single-leg glute bridge exercise variations on mat and reformer Pilates equipment
What this could lead to
If this works, it could help refine Pilates exercise prescriptions for better muscle engagement and rehabilitation outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in healthy adults, so results may not apply to people with injuries or conditions. Findings may not translate to real-world performance.
