About this study

Official title: Effect of a Protein-enriched Drink on Muscle Function Recovery Following an Acute High Intensity Exercise Bout

There is no conclusive evidence about the effect of intake of protein-enriched drink after and acute high intensity exercise bout on muscle function and damage. The investigators aimed to study the effect of a protein-enriched drink on muscle function recovery following an acute high intensity exercise bout. The present counterbalanced, crossover, and double blind study will involve a total of 12 active men.

Read the detailed description

Participants will run downhill (-10%) during 30 min at a intensity equivalent to 75-80% of their maximum heart rate (previously determined). After the exercise bout, participants will have either the placebo or the experimental drink. The investigators will measure muscle function and damage-related parameters right after the exercise as well as the three following days. This protocol will be repeated after a wash out period of 3 weeks, where the participants will have the other drink. The investigators will control exercise and diet three weeks before study entry, during the experimental week as the investigators as during the wash out period.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Protein-enriched drinkDietary supplement

    Participants will drink 330 ml of a protein-enriched drink (6 g/ml of protein) after a high intensity exercise that induce muscle damage (30 min running downhill with a slope of -10º)

What is being measured

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

  1. Isometric muscle strength

    Isometric muscle strength of lower limbs at 90% angle.

    Measured: Change from pre- protein-enriched drink to 24, 48 and 72 hrs post- protein-enriched drink

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Muscle soreness of lower limbs self-reported by a visual anagogic scale and with an algometer score.

    Muscle soreness of the lower limbs will be self-reported by a visual anagogic scale and with an algometer score.

    Measured: Change from post- protein-enriched drink to 24, 48 and 72 hrs post- protein-enriched drink

  2. Power output assessed with the 30sec. Wingate anaerobic test

    Power output will be assessed with the 30sec. Wingate anaerobic test.

    Measured: Change from post- protein-enriched drink to 24, 48 and 72 hrs post- protein-enriched drink

  3. Creatine kinase

    Creatine kinase will be assessed after the protein-enriched drink to assess muscle recovery after a high intensity exercise bout

    Measured: Change from post- protein-enriched drink to 24, 48 hrs post- protein-enriched drink

  4. Urine Creatinine

    Concentration of creatinine in urine will be assessed after the protein-enriched drink to assess muscle recovery after a high intensity exercise bout

    Measured: Change from post- protein-enriched drink to 24, 48 hrs post- protein-enriched drink

  5. Resting metabolic rate

    Measured: Change from pre- protein-enriched drink to 24, 48 and 72 hrs post- protein-enriched drink

  6. Time limit (time that the participant is able to run 90% of his determined maximum aerobic velocity)

    We will measure the time that the participant is able to run 90% of his determined maximum aerobic velocity

    Measured: 24hrs after protein-enriched drink

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Protein-enriched drink in people with Contracture, run by Puleva Biotech at 1 site in Spain.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2015. 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 Spain. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Federico Lara, PhD (0034958240100, Federico.LaraVilloslada@puleva.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Isometric muscle strength (time frame: Change from pre- protein-enriched drink to 24, 48 and 72 hrs post- protein-enriched drink). 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 11 Mar 2015.
