What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in Agility fatigue index

    Agility fatigue index (FI) will be calculated from Repeat Agility Performance Test, using 'Brower equipment'. This assessment includes a 24 meter agility run, repeated on 6 occasions, with every sprint and recovery interval lasting for 65 seconds (eg. if the first agility effort takes the participant 5 seconds, they will have 55 seconds to return to start line for a 5 seconds countdown before their second agility effort). Agility FI=[100X(total agility time÷ideal agility time)]-100. Here, ideal agility time is the best agility time for each participant multiplied by number of repetitions

    Measured: Baseline and 4h post-baseline

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change from baseline in Speed fatigue index

    Speed fatigue index (FI) will be calculated from Repeat Sprint Performance Test, using 'Brower equipment'. This assessment includes a 30 meter sprint, repeated on 6 occasions, with every sprint and recovery interval lasting for 65 seconds (eg. if the first sprint takes the participant 5 seconds, they will have 55 seconds to return to start line for a 5 second countdown before their second sprint). Speed FI=[100X(total speed time÷ideal speed time)]-100. Here, ideal speed time is the best speed time for each participant multiplied by number of repetitions

    Measured: Baseline and 4h post-baseline

  2. Change from baseline in Mean power output

    Mean power output (MPO) will be calculated from Wingate Anaerobic Test, using 'Cycle ergometer'. The participant is allowed to pedal at a constant pace, without resistance and then with additional weights (resistance). This is repeated on three occasions. Overall MPO=(sum of MPO from 3 repetitions at baseline)-(sum of MPO from 3 repetitions at post treatment).

    Measured: Baseline and 4h post-baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Carbohydrate beverage powder, Calorie matched beverage powder and Water in people with Growth and Development, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in India.

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 31 Aug 2018. 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 India. 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.

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 from baseline in Agility fatigue index (time frame: Baseline and 4h post-baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02428127, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Aug 2018.
