What is being measured

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

  1. Change in PD2i following strenuous exercise bout of 45 minutes

    PD2i analysis of HRV measured before and after strenuous exercise in each sport. The change from baseline will be correlated to return to resting heart rate.

    Measured: Baseline at zero minutes and within 60 minutes of completion of strenuous exercise bout.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in PD2i following an injury during competitive sports.

    If an athlete participating in the research sustains an injury the PD2i analysis will be obtained and correlated to the baseline analysis.

    Measured: Baseline PD2i at zero and within 60 minutes of cessation of exercise bout.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Autonomic Dysfunction, run by University of Mississippi Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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 12 Apr 2012. 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 United States. 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?

Change in PD2i following strenuous exercise bout of 45 minutes (time frame: Baseline at zero minutes and within 60 minutes of completion of strenuous exercise bout.). 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 12 Apr 2012.
