About this study

Official title: Étude de l'Effet de la Combinaison néoprène et de l'équipement Individuel de Flottaison Sur la Fonction Respiratoire de Repos et Les capacités à l'Effort Chez Les véliplanchistes : étude WINDSURF

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of wearing both neoprene suit and life jacket on respiratory capacities at rest and cardiopulmonary capacities during exercise in windsurfers.

Read the detailed description

Windsurfers will perform resting spirometry and exercise test on cycle ergometer until exhaustion in two conditions: with or without equipment. The investigators will measure Forced Vital Capacity, FEV1 peak flow at rest and oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide consumption, ventilation at each step of the incremental exercise and at exhaustion.

Being tested
resting standard spirometry, maximum exercise testing
Keywords
windsurfer, wetsuit, spirometry, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, lung function, pulmonary function, oxygen uptake

What participants receive

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

  • resting standard spirometryDiagnostic test

    The subject (seated, bust straightened) should perform, after a slow and maximum inspiration, a forced and complete exhalation followed by a new inspiration to the total lung capacity.

  • maximum exercise testingDiagnostic test

    Incremental exercise on cycle ergometer with 100W start for men (80W for women) for 4 minutes as part of the warm-up. Then, step increment of a 50W power for men (40W for women) lasting 2 minutes each.

What is being measured

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

  1. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC in L) at rest.

    spirometry at rest

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Forced Expiratory Volume

    FEV1 (in L)

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Peak Flow

    PF (peak flow in L/s)

    Measured: 1 day

  3. mean flow rates

    mean expiratory flow rates in L/ s at 75%, 50% and 25% of FVC (MEF 75, MEF 50, MEF 25).

    Measured: 1 day

  4. maximal ventilation

    VE (ventilation in L/min)

    Measured: 1 day

  5. carbon dioxide production

    VCO2 ( in L/min)

    Measured: 1 day

  6. oxygen consumption

    VO2 ( in L/min)

    Measured: 1 day

  7. tidal volume

    VT (in L)

    Measured: 1 day

  8. breathing frequency

    RF (in breaths/min)

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing resting standard spirometry and maximum exercise testing in people with Ventilation and Exercise, run by University Hospital, Brest 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 6 inclusion and 5 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 7 May 2019. 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?

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?

Forced Vital Capacity (FVC in L) at rest. (time frame: 1 day). 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 7 May 2019.
