Trial summary

Check the acute influence of caffeine on the autonomic modulation and cardiorespiratory parameters after aerobic exercise. Hypothesized that caffeine can promote a slower recovery of the cardiorespiratory parameters and the SNA recovery after aerobic exercise. Read more about this study

About this study

Check the acute influence of caffeine on the autonomic modulation and cardiorespiratory parameters after aerobic exercise. Hypothesized that caffeine can promote a slower recovery of the cardiorespiratory parameters and the SNA recovery after aerobic exercise.

Read the detailed description

The experimental procedure is divided into three phases, all performed on a treadmill, with a minimum interval of 48 hours between them, in order to allow adequate recovery of the participants. Before the start of the first stage of the experimental protocol or control anthropometric measurements will be carried out, body weight by a digital scale (Plenna, TIN 00139 MAXIMA, Brazil)) and then, using a stadiometer (Plenna, TIN 00139 MAXIMA, Brazil)). The protocols are:

  1. Maximum stress test protocol: assessment of the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) on a treadmill (Inbrasport / Millennium), using the Bruce protocol.

II) Control Protocol (PC): at this stage the volunteer will ingest compressed form of placebo similar to Protocol III and remained at rest after 15 minutes in the supine position, followed by 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on a treadmill, 5 minutes with speed 6.0 km / h followed by 25 minutes with 60% of VO2max and the final 60 minutes lying recovery.

III) Experimental protocol (PE): In this stage, the volunteer had performed activities similar to the PC, but will make the tablet intake consists of 300mg of caffeine, a value that is within the maximum daily amount allowed under the FDA.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CaffeineDrug

    Volunteers will consume 300 mg of caffeine in pills fifteen minutes before treadmill aerobic exercise.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Volunteers will consume 300 mg of placebo in pills fifteen minutes before treadmill aerobic exercise.

  • Cardiopulmonary testOther

    assessment of the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) on a treadmill (Inbrasport / Millennium), using Buce protocol.

    .

  • Treadmill aerobic exerciseOther

    30 mim of aerobic exercise (5 minutes at speed of 5.0 km/h for warming-up followed by 25 minutes at 60% of VO2max ).

What is being measured

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

  1. Caffeine effects on heart rate variability (based on frequency, time domain and Chaos)

    Measured: up to 1 year

  2. Blood pressure (mmHg)

    Caffeine effects blood pressure recovery following aerobic exercise

    Measured: up to 1 year

  3. Heart rate (beats per minute)

    Caffeine effects heart rate recovery following aerobic exercise

    Measured: up to 1 year

  4. Respiratory rate (per minute)

    Caffeine effects arespiratory rate recovery following aerobic exercise

    Measured: up to 1 year

  5. Oxygen saturation pulse (oximeter-SpO2)

    Caffeine effects SpO2 recovery following aerobic exercise

    Measured: up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Caffeine, Cardiopulmonary test and Treadmill aerobic exercise in people with Autonomic Nervous System and Cardiorespiratory Parameters, run by Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2016. 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 Brazil. 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Caffeine effects on heart rate variability (based on frequency, time domain and Chaos) (time frame: up to 1 year). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 30 Sep 2016.
