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.

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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 tested three approaches to prevent hamstring injuries in 66 professional female football players: passive manual therapy (hands-on stretching), active therapy (core exercises and stretching), and a combination of both. Researchers measured flexibility and hip movement before, right after, and some time after treatment. The goal was to see which method works best to keep players injury-free.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
passive manual therapy, active therapeutic exercise, and combined therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward an effective prevention program for hamstring injuries in football players.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to all athletes. The study measured flexibility and range of motion, not actual injury rates, so real-world prevention benefits remain uncertain.
