Underwater rugby players test brain boost for better game tactics
NCT ID NCT07458581
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a short, guided team-reflection session during practice can help elite women's underwater rugby players make better tactical decisions. Twenty-six players will be split into two groups: one does the reflection, the other rests normally. After 6 weeks, their tactical efficiency in 3v3 scrimmages will be compared.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Female elite underwater rugby players aged ≥18 years. * Officially rostered members of the participating high-performance team/squad. * Regular training participation (minimum 2 sessions per week) in the team's programme. * Able to complete study procedures at Baseline (Visit 1) and Post-intervention at 6 weeks (Visit 2), including standardized 3v3 scrimmage video assessment. * Willing and able to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Current injury, illness, or medical condition that prevents full participation in regular underwater rugby training during the intervention period. * Anticipated prolonged absence (e.g., travel/competing/other commitments) that would prevent meaningful exposure to the intervention dose (e.g., missing \>20% of sessions). * Inability to complete the assessment procedures reliably (e.g., unable to participate in the standardized 3v3 assessment or comply with study instructions). * Declines participation or withdraws consent.
