About this study

Official title: Effect of Grape Juice Consumption on the Parameters of Oxidative Stress and Muscle Fatigue in Judo Athletes: A Randomized Clinical Trial

This project aims to evaluate if after 14 days of grape juice ingestion there is improvement of the parameters of strength, fatigue and oxidative stress in judo fighters. The study will be a randomized, blind, crossover clinical trial of 20 Judo athletes. Judo wrestling simulations will be performed on 3 different days.

Read the detailed description

Grape juice has a high concentration of phenolic compounds and is capable of modulating biochemical parameters and oxidative stress. By naturally containing carbohydrates grape juice can help acutely minimize fatigue during exercise as well as long-term oxidative stress parameters in athletes. This project aims to evaluate if after 14 days of grape juice ingestion there is improvement of the parameters of strength, fatigue and oxidative stress in judo fighters. The study will be a randomized, blind, crossover clinical trial of 20 Judo athletes. Judo wrestling simulations will be performed on 3 different days. Each exercise session will consist of four 7-minute bouts, with 14-minute rest between them. The athletes will perform a first fight simulation without ingestion of any beverage (control group 1), and then will be randomized to determine the order of participation in the groups: maltodextrin (group 2 placebo) and grape juice (intervention group 3). Analyzes of oxidative stress; Muscle strength and fatigue; Perceived effort rate; Lactate; Heart rate; Analysis of food consumption and body composition.Two-way ANOVA will be used to evaluate the relation of the intervention and physical exercise, besides parameters of strength and fatigue. The level of significance adopted will be 5% and for the analysis, the SPSS summer 23 statistical program will be used.

Being tested
Grape juice, Maltodextrin

Study groups in NCT03186573
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control GroupNo interventionThe athletes will not receive any drink and will do the simulations of the fight.
Intervention groupActive comparator(Intervention, grape juice) - athletes will receive 400 ml per day of grape juice (containing 66g of carbohydrates) for 14 days and will do the fight simulations.
Receives: Dietary Supplement: Grape juice
Placebo GroupPlacebo comparator(Placebo, grape-flavored maltodextrin carbohydrate) - athletes will receive400ml of drink daily with 66g of maltodextrin for 14 days and will do the fight simulations; The amount of maltodextrin is equal to the amount of carbohydrate present in grape juice.
Receives: Dietary Supplement: Maltodextrin

What is being measured

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

  1. Oxidative stress In Blood Collection

    A disturbance in the prooxidant-antioxidant balance in favor of the former, leading to potential damage.

    Measured: 15 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Borg in scale.

    Specific to muscle fatigue, a state arrived at through prolonged and strong contraction of a muscle. Studies in athletes during prolonged submaximal exercise have shown that muscle fatigue increases in almost direct proportion to the rate of muscle glycogen depletion. Muscle fatigue in short-term maximal exercise is associated with oxygen lack and an increased level of blood and muscle lactic acid, and an accompanying increase in hydrogen-ion concentration in the exercised muscle.

    Measured: 15 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Grape juice and Maltodextrin in people with Oxidative Stress and Muscle Fatigue, run by Federal University of Health Science of Porto Alegre at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 26 Jan 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 Brazil. 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?

Oxidative stress In Blood Collection (time frame: 15 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 26 Jan 2018.
