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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 trial compares two exercise programs—Pilates and low-volume high-intensity interval training (HIIT)—to see which better improves cardiorespiratory fitness in adults with asthma. Fifty-one overweight participants aged 30 to 40 with partially controlled asthma will follow one of the two programs for eight weeks. Researchers will measure changes in maximum oxygen consumption and quality of life to determine which approach offers greater benefit.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pilates exercises or low-volume high-intensity interval training
What this could lead to
If one approach proves superior, it could point toward a tailored exercise program to improve fitness and quality of life in people with asthma.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 51 participants, so results may not apply to all people with asthma. Exercise can sometimes trigger asthma symptoms.
