About this study

Official title: Effects of Musical Auditory Stimulation on Autonomic Cardiac Response and Cardiorespiratory Parameters During and After Long-term Submaximal Aerobic Exercise

Check the effects of musical auditory stimulation on the autonomic modulation and cardiorespiratory parameters during and after aerobic exercise. Hypothesized that classical music can increase recovery velocity after exercise and rock style music can generate a delay in the recovery velocity of the cardiorespiratory parameters and in the cardiac autonomic response.

Read the detailed description

To implement the experimental protocol, all volunteers were informed to not ingest alcoholic or caffeine-based drinks for 12 hours before the experimental procedure; consuming light meal only two hours before and avoid any vigorous physical exertion 24 hours before the testing.

The experimental procedures were divided into three segments, all performed on a treadmill, with a minimum interval of 48 hours between them in order to allow the volunteers to recover. The protocols running time was always set between 5:30 PM and 9:30 PM, to avoid circadian influences. In addition to these, temperature was fixed between 23 ° C and 24 ° C and humidity between 60% and 70%.

Before the first phase of the experimental protocol the volunteers were approved and the investigators obtained body mass by means of a digital scale (Plenna, TIN 00139 Maxima, Brazil) then height, by means of a stadiometer (ES 2020 - Sanny, Brazil). The comparable stages of the experimental protocol were undertaken:

  1. Maximal exercise test: the investigators undertook this to record the maximum velocity (Vmax) reached by the volunteer. This was then applied to indirectly determine the anaerobic threshold via the Conconi threshold. Intensity of 60% of the Vmax obtained in the test was lesser than that found in the anaerobic threshold, and this intensity was enforced to perform subsequent steps;

II) Control Protocol (CP): In this period the volunteers were at rest, in the supine position for 15 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on a treadmill (five minutes at a speed of 6.0 km / h followed by 25 minutes with 60% of Vmax + 1% grade) and then a recovery period lasting 60 minutes (three minutes standing on the treadmill followed by 57 minutes in the supine position). The volunteers were instructed to remain awake during all the protocol and this was verified and monitored by one of the researchers.

III) Music Protocol (MP): Volunteers accomplished the same activities of the CP, but with exposure to musical auditory stimulation during exercise and recovery.

    In this period the volunteers were at rest, in the supine position for 15 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on a treadmill (five minutes at a speed of 6.0 km / h followed by 25 minutes with 60% of Vmax + 1% grade) and then a recovery period lasting 60 minutes (three minutes standing on the treadmill followed by 57 minutes in the supine position).

  • Classical Music ProtocolOther

    Volunteers accomplished the same activities of the control protocol, but with exposure to classical music during exercise and recovery.

  • Rock Music ProtocolOther

    Volunteers accomplished the same activities of the control protocol, but with exposure to rocky musical style during exercise and recovery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Classical Music Protocol and Rock Music Protocol in people with Autonomic Nervous System and Cardiorespiratory Parameters, run by Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho.

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 1 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 27 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Music effects on heart rate variability based on time domain (time frame: 90 minutes). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Jun 2017.
