  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: Participants in this study 30 healthy male volunteers, aged 20 to 40 years, regular physical activity, constituting three groups: 1 - without exercise-hypoxia group 10 volunteers who not be subjected to any kind of physical exercise in hypoxia and remain all day of experiment, 2 - group exercise at sea level, is composed of 10 volunteers who will undergo a protocol exercicio physical sea-level, 3 - group exercise and hypoxia - 10 volunteers who will carry out a protocol exercise on a treadmill, being the same in condition of hypoxia. All groups on the first day of the experiment will undergo baseline assessments, laboratory blood analysis salivary and spirometric testing.

About this study

Official title: Aspects of Neuropsychological Assessment, Standard and Sleep Efficiency in People Exposed to Altitude

Aim: To evaluate the influence of oxygen deficit on the cognitive performance and also about the architecture and sleep efficiency in volunteers subjected to mild and moderate exercise in a hypobaric chamber. SUMMARY: Participants in this study 30 healthy male volunteers, aged 20 to 40 years, regular physical activity, constituting three groups: 1 - without exercise-hypoxia group 10 volunteers who not be subjected to any kind of physical exercise in hypoxia and remain all day of experiment, 2 - group exercise at sea level, is composed of 10 volunteers who will undergo a protocol exercise physical sea-level, 3 - group exercise and hypoxia - 10 volunteers who will carry out a protocol exercise on a treadmill, being the same in condition of hypoxia (hypobaric chamber). All groups on the first day of the experiment will undergo baseline assessments, laboratory blood analysis salivary and spirometric testing. Assessments will be personality and neuropsychological. After baseline assessments, the last day of the experiment, the groups will be evaluated again 4350m above sea level the sea, by personality tests, neuropsychological and laboratory. RATIONALE AND BACKGROUND: During exposure to environments with a partial reduction of oxygen, human body can undergo several physiological and psychological changes are not prepared for such condition. Few studies have reported that the elevation changes and cognitive aspects related to sleep.

MATERIAL AND METHOD: They describe the procedures to be performed, and the study conducted in local with adequate infrastructure.

ADDITIONAL RISKS TO THE PATIENT: Minimal risk, mild discomfort, involving blood collect. Purpose: To evaluate the influence of oxygen deficit on the cognitive performance and also about the architecture and sleep efficiency in volunteers subjected to mild and moderate exercise in a hypobaric chamber.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypoxia, run by Federal University of São Paulo.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 1 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Contact Valdir A Lemos, DR (551155720177, aquino.lemos@unifesp.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

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 1 Jul 2011.
