Impact of the Wingate Test on Post-activation Potentiation
NCT06779409 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this trial is to see if using a maximal effort, short cycling test is better at activating muscles to improve vertical jump height compared to a maximal effort back squat. The study looks to answer three questions: 1. will the Wingate bike test create a different change in counter movement jump height compared to a back squat? 2. What is the best recovery period after each test where the counter movement jump is the highest? 3. What person-specific factors predict success of the Wingate bike test as a activation activity for the counter movement jump? Participants will visit the lab 3 times, once to give informed consent and measure their 1 repetition max (RM) back squat, and twice to perform each intervention and measure vertical jump height.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06779409
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06779409 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 35 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, which has 9 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Performance Enhancement appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Back squat is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06779409 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Louisiana. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
