Official title: Evaluation of Respiratory Muscle Strength and Pulmonary Functions in Volleyball Players Suffering From Covid-19

In literature, there is no data evaluating respiratory functions in volleyball players during Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compared pulmonary functions, respiratory muscle strength, body compositions and performance situations perceptions in female volleyball players with Covid-19 and non-Covid-19.

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory muscle strength

    Maximal inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength will be evaluated using mouth pressure device.

    Measured: 10 minute

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. FEV1

    Pulmonary function tests will be performed using a spirometry according to the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria. FEV1 will be evaluated. The percentage of predicted value <70% will be expressed as abnormal.

    Measured: 5 minute

  2. FVC

    Pulmonary function tests will be performed using a spirometry according to the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria. FVC will be evaluated. The percentage of predicted value <70% will be expressed as abnormal

    Measured: 5 minute

  3. FEV1/FVC

    Pulmonary function tests will be performed using a spirometry according to the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria. FEV1/FVC will be evaluated.

    Measured: 5 minute

  4. PEF

    Pulmonary function tests will be performed using a spirometry according to the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria. PEF will be evaluated. The percentage of predicted value <70% will be expressed as abnormal.

    Measured: 5 minute

  5. FEF2575

    Pulmonary function tests will be performed using a spirometry according to the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria. FEF2575 will be evaluated. The percentage of predicted value <50% will be expressed as abnormal.

    Measured: 5 minute

  6. Fat mass

    Fat mass will be evaluated using TANITA bioelectrical impedance analysis.

    Measured: 2 minute

  7. Fat mass percent

    Fat mass percent will be evaluated using TANITA bioelectrical impedance analysis.

    Measured: 2 minute

  8. Fat-free mass

    Fat-free mass will be evaluated using TANITA bioelectrical impedance analysis.

    Measured: 2 minute

  9. Body mass index

    Body mass index will be evaluated using TANITA bioelectrical impedance analysis.

    Measured: 2 minute

  10. Predicted muscle mass

    Predicted muscle mass will be evaluated using TANITA bioelectrical impedance analysis.

    Measured: 2 minute

  11. Symptom severity perceptions

    Symptom severity perceptions will be evaluated Numeric Rating Scale.The severity of symptoms perceptions related to Covid are scored 0-10 point. Higher scores indicate higher severity of symptoms.

    Measured: 1 minute

  12. Performance situations perceptions

    Performance situations perceptions will be evaluated Numeric Rating Scale. Performance situations perceptions of all players are also scored 0-10 point. Higher scores indicate greater performance.

    Measured: 1 minute

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid19, run by Gazi University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Apr 2021. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

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?

Respiratory muscle strength (time frame: 10 minute). 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 NCT04789512, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Apr 2021.
