About this study

2 young candidates have tragically died during army pre-recruitment sorting series in 2006. As part of the classification and characterization of the physical aspects of the training, this experiment was requested.

We aim at determining the characteristics of physical strains in sorting series, by objective and subjective parameters and evaluating the difficulty levels and intensity of those strains.

Read the detailed description

each subject will perform the following 3 days experiment protocol, consisting of army training exercises:

  1. sack carrying exercise; the subjects will go up and down through a steep slope with sand sack on their back (path length is 200 meters,10 repetitions). the first day will also include recruitment and medical examination, in addition to the exercise.
  2. crawling exercise; the subjects will crawl with knee's protectors back and forth (path length is 20 meters,15 repetitions).
  3. combined exercise: sprints session (path length 600 meter, 3 repetitions),15 min break, sack carrying session (same protocol as first day), 45 min break and crawling session (same protocol as the second day). during all exercises heart rate, core temperature, lactic acid and CPK levels will be monitored continuously.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing experiment protocol in people with Motor Activity, run by Sheba Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 2 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 14 Jul 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 Israel. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ofir Frenkel, M.D (+972529243399, Ofir.Frenkel@sheba.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

heart rate will be monitored using a wearable heart rate monitor (Polar® sensor and heart rate monitor watch) (time frame: 3 experiment days). 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 2015.
