Study links past sports injuries and low activity to later health
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how an earlier sports injury and time spent being inactive may relate to later health problems. It mainly needs specific age groups and either current/former collegiate athletes or non-athlete comparison participants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be within one of these age ranges: 18–25 years or 40–64 years
- Be either a current/former collegiate varsity athlete or a non-athlete comparison participant
- Have no major nervous system diseases that affect function (for example, stroke effects or Parkinson’s)
- Not be currently pregnant
- Do not have a past hip or knee replacement (joint replacement in the lower body)

This study looks at how pain affects older adults who are either current master's athletes, former competitive athletes, or nonathletes. It aims to understand why some people have more pain and what helps them stay active.
This study looks for signs in muscles, bones, movement, and physical performance that may predict injury risk in high school athletes. It’s mainly about collecting information, and you may help improve how sports injuries are prevented and tracked.
This study looks at how different levels of exercise affect health markers in older adults. It compares elite athletes to sedentary individuals to understand how exercise can improve health.
This study looks at how age affects the way your body uses insulin (a hormone that helps move sugar into cells), and how lifestyle or exercise may change that. It may help you understand insulin resistance and whether changes in activity could improve blood sugar control.
This study follows adults as they age to learn how health and brain function change over time. You may help researchers understand early aging differences, using health checks and scans, and by sharing genetic samples.
This study evaluates the lifestyle and nutrition habits of physically active people and athletes to understand how these factors affect health and performance.
