About this study

Official title: Determination of Respiratory Muscle Endurance in Healthy Adult Individuals

The aim of this study is to determine the reference value ranges for healthy adults of the incremental threshold load test, which evaluates respiratory muscle endurance.

Read the detailed description

Since respiratory muscles are used in daily life at the submaximal level, evaluation of their endurance is more meaningful functionally. In addition, evaluation of endurance with respiratory muscle strength is effective in determining respiratory muscle dysfunction. Failure to routinely evaluate respiratory muscle endurance, which is one of the main components of respiratory muscle function, may lead to failure to identify respiratory muscle dysfunction in early stage respiratory patients who have not yet developed muscle strength loss. However, normal value ranges have not been determined for the respiratory muscle endurance test.

Determining the normal value ranges for this test will help determine muscle fatigue and investigate the physiological course in respiratory diseases.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incremental threshold loading test.

    A measure of endurance of inspiratory muscles.

    Measured: 15 minute

  2. Maximal inspiratory pressure

    A measure of the strength of inspiratory muscles

    Measured: 20 minute

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pulmonary function test - Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)

    The forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) is the volume of air (in liters) exhaled in the first second during forced exhalation after maximal inspiration. It is lung function test that are measured during spirometry. This pulmonary function test measurements were made to confirm that the respiratory function parameters of the participants were within the normal range. .

    Measured: 5 minute

  2. Pulmonary function test - Forced vital capacity (FVC)

    Forced vital capacity (FVC) is lung function test that are measured during spirometry. This pulmonary function test measurement is applied to confirm that the respiratory function parameters of the participants were within the normal range.

    Measured: 5 minute

  3. Maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV)

    It is a test that measures inspiratory endurance. MVV is the largest amount of air that a person can inhale and then exhale during a 12- to 15-s interval with maximal voluntary effort. It is determined by spirometry measurement.

    Measured: 5 minute

  4. International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form

    This questionnaire assesses the types of intensity of physical activity and sitting time that people do as part of their daily lives are considered to estimate total physical activity in the metabolic equivalent of task (MET)-minute/week and time spent sitting.

    Measured: 5 minute

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy Volunteers, run by Kutahya Health Sciences 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 3 Mar 2023. 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?

Incremental threshold loading test. (time frame: 15 minute). The study lists 2 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 3 Mar 2023.
