What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study tests whether reactive balance training—using unpredictable movements that force quick corrections—improves dynamic stability and agility more than standard balance exercises in competitive tennis players aged 18-25. Sixty-four participants will be split into two groups and train for six weeks. Researchers will measure balance with the Y-Balance Test and agility with the 505 Agility Test before and after training 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
Reactive balance training (unpredictable perturbation-based exercises) versus conventional balance training (static and controlled exercises)
What this could lead to
If reactive balance training proves more effective, it could give tennis coaches a better way to improve players' balance and agility, potentially reducing injury risk and enhancing performance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 64 participants, so results may not apply to all athletes. The training is non-drug, so risks are low, but the benefit over conventional training may be small or nonexistent.

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.
