About this study

Official title: Neuromuscular and Cognitive Fatigue During a 24h Treadmill Running Exercise.

The main purpose of the present study is to determine the relative contributions of central and peripheral fatigue during an ultra-endurance exercise.

Read the detailed description

For that purpose, 14 subjects running 24 hours on a treadmill will be compared with a control group being awake during the same period. Subjects who running will have electrically evoked forces on the muscles associated EMG activity, blood samples and muscle biopsy.

Conditions

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. -Voluntary and electrically evoked forces on the contracted muscles

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Electrically evoked forces on the relaxed muscles and associated EMG activity

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Blood samples before the exercise

    Measured: every 4 hours

  3. Muscle biopsy (vastus lateralis)

    Measured: before and after the exercise

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing running during 24 hours without sleep and no sleeping in people with Healthy, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 11 Jun 2009. 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 France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

-Voluntary and electrically evoked forces on the contracted muscles (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00428779, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 11 Jun 2009.
