About this study

Official title: Post - Activation Potentiation Following Acute Bouts of Plyometric Versus Heavy Resistance Exercise in Collegiate Soccer Players

The main purpose of this study will be comparison of acute effects of plyometric and heavy resistance exercise on post-activation potentiation

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, randomized, crossover study. Collegiate soccer players will be enrolled in this study. The study will be performed in 3 separate sessions.In the first session, participants will be familiarized with the experimental conditions and 1RM will be calculated. Participants will then be randomized to receive either heavy resistance or plyometric exercise first in the second session and then will be crossed over to receive the opposite intervention in the third session. The objective of the study is to compare the acute effects of plyometric and heavy resistance exercise on post - activation potentiation by measuring physical performance and blood lactate level.

Conditions
Soccer
Being tested
Plyometric exercise, Heavy resistance exercise

What participants receive

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

  • Plyometric exerciseBehavioural

    2 sets of 10 ankle hops, 3 sets of 5 hurdle hops, 5 drop-jumps from a height of 50 cm

  • Heavy resistance exerciseBehavioural

    10 single repetitions of back half squats at 90% of 1 repetition maximum

What is being measured

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

  1. Blood lactate level

    Small pinprick blood samples will be taken from fingertip and blood lactate level will be measured by Blood lactate analyser (EKF Diagnostic Lactate Scout +, UK). The area will be cleaned first, using a dry tissue to remove sweat, then an alcohol swab. Once the area is dry, the lancet (often with a spring loaded apparatus) will be used to pierce the skin.

    Measured: Measured prior to and after the intervention period (at 1 minute and 10 minute)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Countermovement jump height

    The countermovement jump height will be measured using an iPhone app 'My Jump'. Jump height will be determined using an acknowledged flight - time calculation. During the CMJ, the subject rest their hands on their hips while performing a downward movement, followed by a maximum effort vertical jump. The subjects have to land in an upright position and to bend knees on landing.

    Measured: Measured prior to and after the intervention period (at 1 minute and 10 minute)

  2. 20 m single sprint time

    The 20m single sprint is a standard test for assessing soccer players' running speed. The test involves running a single maximum sprint over 20 meters, with the time recorded using a stopwatch.

    Measured: Measured prior to and after the intervention period (at 1 minute and 10 minute)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Plyometric exercise and Heavy resistance exercise in people with Soccer, run by Jamia Millia Islamia 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 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jun 2017. 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. 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?

Blood lactate level (time frame: Measured prior to and after the intervention period (at 1 minute and 10 minute)). 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 NCT03150277, 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 20 Jun 2017.
