About this study

Official title: Comparison of Two Types of Exercise Training for Asthmatic Subjects : Interests and Limits

The aim of the study is to compare two methods of exercise training: alternate load versus constant load realized at moderate or high intensities, in order to define the interests and the limits of each one of these two methods. The finality is to make possible to the expert to choose what exercise training induces the best results quickly and to make its choice according to the therapeutic objectives which it lays down.We also evaluate the effects of these exercises training on the vagal response and the bronchial tone of the asthmatics. From a clinical point of view, a close attention will be paid to the effects of these exercises training on the control of asthma and the quality of life of the subjects

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max)

    Measured: At T-1 = eight weeks before training - At T0 = beginning of training - At T1 = eight weeks after training

  2. Maximal power output (Pmax)

    Measured: At T-1 = eight weeks before training - At T0 = beginning of training - At T1 = eight weeks after training

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Exhaled NO (eNO)

    Measured: At T-1 = eight weeks before training - At T0 = beginning of training - At T1 = eight weeks after training

  2. Heart rate variability

    Measured: At T-1 = eight weeks before training - At T0 = beginning of training - At T1 = eight weeks after training

  3. Force Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1)

    Measured: At T-1 = eight weeks before training - At T0 = beginning of training - At T1 = eight weeks after training

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise training in people with Asthma, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 2 sites 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 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Difficulties in recruiting patient). 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?

Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) (time frame: At T-1 = eight weeks before training - At T0 = beginning of training - At T1 = eight weeks after training). 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 14 Jul 2020.
