Dynamic Postural Control After Exercise
A study testing treadmill run in people with Postural Control, run by University Hospital Heidelberg at 1 site in Germany.
Trial summary
The aim was to analyze the influence of fatigue on the dynamic postural control in one-leg standing and in jump landing, followed by stabilization or side jumps, and to compare athletes of different levels with control subjects. Read more about this study

- treadmill run
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
treadmill runOther
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Exercise | Experimental | All participants had to run 20min on their individual anaerobic threshold Receives: Other: treadmill run |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change of force ratio of ground reaction forces in/after landing from baseline
Measured: 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 min after exercise
Change of the velocity of the center of pressure (COP) from baseline
Measured: 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 min after the exercise
Secondary outcomes (1)
Change of rate of perceived exertion (Borg Scale) from baseline
Measured: every 10 min during and 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 min after exercise

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing treadmill run in people with Postural Control, run by University Hospital Heidelberg at 1 site in Germany.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change of force ratio of ground reaction forces in/after landing from baseline (time frame: 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 min after exercise). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Feb 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
