Trial summary

Nowadays, ECC exercise can be realized using various modalities that target small or large muscle masses in a segmentary or dynamic way. The training program proposed in this study is realised on an handmade ergocycle which allows eccentric contractions. Read more about this study

About this study

Nowadays, ECC exercise can be realized using various modalities that target small or large muscle masses in a segmentary or dynamic way. The training program proposed in this study is realised on an handmade ergocycle which allows eccentric contractions.

With this type of ergometer, O2 consumption (VO2) is three to five fold lower than during an exercise realised at the same power output with a concentric ergocycle. Due to this later propertie, which origins are not yet fully identified, there is an increasing interest to embed ECC in rehabilitation programs.

The investigators hypothesis that a higher pedal rate will induce a lower oxygen consumption, with the same benefits.

This study aims to compare oxygen consumption at two pedal rates : 50 and 80 rotation per minute (rpm).

The ultimate goal is to assess efficacy and tolerance of eccentric training on ergocycle and to enhance comprehension of the physiological mecanisms involved in the lower O2 consumption observed.

Read the detailed description

The training program proposed in this study is realised on an handmade ergocycle which allows almost pur eccentric contractions.

Fifteen healthy volunteers realize a incremental test until exertion on a concentric ergometer. If the minimal power output of 200W is reached, the volunteers are familiarized with eccentric exercise during several bouts of exercise. This habituation session allows avoiding the secondary muscular effects of high intensity eccentric exercise.

Then, volunteers could take part in a two-stepped eccentric protocol: 1) an incremental test consisting in 3 stages. Each stage lasts 4 minutes.

  1. A constant-load test realized at 320W during 6 minutes. Each test is realized twice: at 50 and 80 rpm and sequence is randomly assigned.

[One step (incremental or constant load) = two tests (50 and 80 rpm)]

During each step, oxygen consumption is continuously measured, as well as cardiac output and muscular activity and intramuscular oxygen kinetic.

What participants receive

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

  • pedal rate on 50 RPMProcedure or surgery

    All measurements are performed in two pedalling situations. The two frequencies used will be 50 and 80 RPM. For each subject the running order (50 and 80, 80 and 50) is randomly determined

  • pedal rate on 80 RPMProcedure or surgery

    All measurements are performed in two pedalling situations. The two frequencies used will be 50 and 80 RPM. For each subject the running order (50 and 80, 80 and 50) is randomly determined

What is being measured

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

  1. Oxygen consumption (VO2 ml/min)

    Oxygen consumption (VO2) is continuously assesse during exercises at 50 and 80 rpm.

    Measured: at day 1

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Cardiac output( l/min)

    Measured: at day 1

  2. muscular oxygen kinetic (arbitrary unit and %)

    Measured: at day 1

  3. Muscular activity (mV)

    Muscular activity is measured during one and half minute, at the end of each stage

    Measured: at day 1 during one and half minute (1min30s)

  4. VO2 (ml/min)

    VO2 is continously assessed during the constant-load exercise

    Measured: at day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pedal rate on 50 RPM and pedal rate on 80 RPM in people with Healthy, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand at 1 site in France.

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 5 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 29 Jul 2016. 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 France. 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 Patrick LACARIN (04 73 75 11 95, placarin@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Oxygen consumption (VO2 ml/min) (time frame: at day 1). 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 29 Jul 2016.
