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 Results may not be published yet.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

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether adding a weighted vest during plyometric warm-up exercises improves vertical jump height more than doing the same exercises without extra weight. Young male soccer players will perform both weighted and unweighted conditioning sessions, with jump performance measured at several time points afterward. The goal is to see if the extra load offers a performance boost and how long any effect lasts, which could help coaches design better warm-ups.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Weighted and unweighted plyometric conditioning exercises
What this could lead to
If weighted plyometrics prove more effective, coaches could use them to boost explosive power before games and training.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in a specific group, so results may not apply broadly. Adding weight could also increase injury risk.
