Reported findings and study design
Gymnasts spent 55% of the balance test with their center of mass in the center of the target after Pinealon. The abstract reports improvement over earlier readings.
Sixteen artistic gymnasts aged 18–22 and 20 male student controls. Gymnasts took the Stabilan-01 balance target test before and after Pinealon during precompetition training.
Protocol information
Pinealon was given to the gymnasts. The abstract does not report dose, route or a matched placebo.

| Measure | Result | Comparison, timing and statistics |
|---|---|---|
| Time in the center of the target | 55% of the test after Pinealon | This is a post-treatment value, not a 55% improvement. Student control values are not supplied. |
| Balance function | Reported improvement relative to measurements one and two weeks before competition | The abstract calls the change significant and gives no exact p-value or earlier scores. |
A short report of postural control during training. Dose, tolerability and the size of a controlled treatment effect remain unverified.
