Predicting injury in athletes through metabolic markers
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks for chemicals in the body that change after sports injuries, which could help doctors understand and treat injuries better. It is for athletes aged 12 to 30 who have had a recent injury like a muscle pull, sprain, bruise, torn ligament, dislocation, or fracture during exercise.

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 body measurements change after an intensive muscle-building training season, and how those changes relate to improved performance in a middle-distance race. You might be a good match if you’re a 40–60-year-old male athlete in the specific training program and can safely complete all required tests.
This study looks at what bone “profiles” look like in healthy adult athletes. It may help researchers better understand how normal bone health varies in people who are physically active.
This study looks at how a muscle training program affects the heart and hormones of young soccer players aged 14 to 18. It may help you understand if your training is healthy and safe.
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.
This study tests new technology to measure how your body uses energy and nutrients during rehabilitation after a stroke or motor injury. It may help design better nutrition plans for your recovery.
