About this study

To investigate the relationship between respiratory function and core muscles strength in athletes with disabilities and compare with healthy athletes.

Read the detailed description

The determination of parameters affecting the performance of high performance athletes that are effective in performance is very important to determine the physical performance potential. The body is a kinetic chain and core muscles play an important role in this chain. The relationship between the performance ability of the athletes and the relationship between the core muscles and performance abilities and respiratory function is extremely important. Different functional classifications caused by different barriers (physical, mental or visual) in many paralympic branches affect physical training because it is directly related to the classification, performance and training adaptations of an athlete. Determining the parameters that affect the respiratory function of paralympics is very important to develop a training program with strategies that can affect the physical performance of athletes and thus to achieve the desired results in training and competitions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between respiratory muscle strength and core muscle strength in paralympic athletes (athletes with disability).

What is being measured

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

  1. FVC (the rate of normal value by the spirometer device)

    Functional vital capacity: will evaluate by the rate of normal value by the spirometer device (Pony FX Cosmed device)

    Measured: 2 days

  2. FEV1 ( the rate of normal value by the spirometer device)

    First second Forced Expiratory Volume:will evaluate by the rate of normal value by the spirometer device (Pony FX Cosmed device)

    Measured: 2 days

  3. Muscle strength (Abdominal Flexor Muscle Strength: will evaluate as Newtonmeter (Nm) by isokinetic device)

    Abdominal Flexor Muscle Strength: will evaluate as Newtonmeter (Nm) by isokinetic device (IsoMed 2000, trunk attachment).

    Measured: 2 days

  4. Muscle strength (Abdominal Exstansor Muscle Strength: will evaluate as Newtonmeter (Nm) by isokinetic device)

    Abdominal Extensor Muscle Strength: will evaluate as Newtonmeter (Nm) by isokinetic device (IsoMed 2000, trunk attachment).

    Measured: 2 days

  5. Muscle strength (Abdominal right rotator Muscle Strength: will evaluate as Newtonmeter (Nm) by isokinetic device)

    Abdominal right rotator Muscle Strength: will evaluate as Newtonmeter (Nm) by isokinetic device (IsoMed 2000, trunk attachment).

    Measured: 2 days

  6. Muscle strength (Abdominal left rotator Muscle Strength: will evaluate as Newtonmeter (Nm) by isokinetic device)

    Abdominal left rotator Muscle Strength: will evaluate as Newtonmeter (Nm) by isokinetic device (IsoMed 2000, trunk attachment).

    Measured: 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Disabilities Multiple, run by Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

FVC (the rate of normal value by the spirometer device) (time frame: 2 days). The study lists 6 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 10 Dec 2018.
