About this study
Official title: Comparison of Acute Effects on Lactic Acid Removal, Flexibility, Strength, and Endurance of Different Recovery Methods
The aim of this study is to compare these three different recovery methods following a single bout high-intensity interval exercise program with each other in terms of blood lactate clearance, muscle flexibility, muscle strength and endurance.
Read the detailed description
It is very important to choose the most effective recovery method for the athletes in training for their next training/competition. The recovery period is very significant in terms of removal of blood lactate and body dynamics as soon as they return to their original state and achieve high performance. Neither neuromuscular electrical stimulation, low-intensity aerobic exercise, self-massage with foam roller methods, which have been proven their effectiveness in the literature, have been compared with each other.
- Conditions
- Recovery Methods, Exercise Training
- Being tested
- Active Recovery Group, Self-Massage with Foam Roller Group, Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation
- Keywords
- foam roller, electrical stimulation, low intensity aerobic training, lactate removal
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Active Recovery GroupOther
Participants in this group will exercise for 15 minutes, for a range of 65 to 70% of the maximum heart rate as a recovery method following a single bout high-intensity interval exercise program
Self-Massage with Foam Roller GroupOther
This group will perform 15 minutes self-massage with foam roller following the exercise session as a recovery method following a single bout high-intensity interval exercise program.
Neuromuscular Electrical StimulationOther
Participants of this group will be applied electrical stimulation on quadriceps femoris and hamstring muscles for 15 minutes while they are comfortable lying position as a recovery method following a single bout high-intensity interval exercise program.

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 8 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 5 Sep 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 change (time frame: change from baseline and 20. minutes of recovery). 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 5 Sep 2018.
