About this study
Official title: Neuromuscular, Physiological and Performance Changes After an Acute and Chronic Training Protocol Associated to the Inter-set Velocity Loss
This study evaluates different performance, physiological and neuromuscular changes after acute and chronic resistance training intervention in physically active men. The participants will train with a single exercise (full squat) and will be monitored with a linear encoder. The experiment will consist of between 3 to 6 sets between 70% to 85% of 1RM in the full squat exercise. Two main groups will form the intervention: one group will perform inter-set repetitions until there will be a 20% of velocity loss compared to the first repetition, while the second group will have a 40% of velocity loss.
Read the detailed description
The main dependent variables and instruments will be:
- Tensyomiography: neuromuscular properties of the vastus lateral (VL), rectus femoris (RF) and vastus medialis (VM) from the dominant leg.
- Force platform: kinetic variables in relation to a countermovement jump.
- Near-infrared spectrography: oxygen saturation in the VL and VM.
- Termographic camera: low limbs temperatura.
- Linear encoder: mean propulsive velocity from each repetition
- Electromyography: amplitude and frequency parameters related to a knee extension maximum voluntary contraction test.
- Strain gauge: maximum isometric force.
- Conditions
- Healthy
- Being tested
- Acute changes, Chronic changes, Familiarization
- Keywords
- velocity loss, Tensiomiography, resistance training
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Acute changesOther
In a crossover design, participants will be randomized to perform on Day 1, 3 sets of repetitions (depending on each treatment group) at 70% or 1RM in the full squat exercise. 48-h later, same will be performed but in the contrary crossover arm.
Chronic changesOther
In a randomized control trial, participants will train during 6 weeks the full squat exercise, 2 days in the week (minimum between-days rest of 48h). Intensity will vary from 70% to 85 of 1RM, and training volume from 3 to 6 sets.
FamiliarizationOther
Prior to any intervention, all participants will perform a familiarization of the exercise session, together with a progressive resistance test to estimate the 1 RM
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 20% velocity loss | Experimental | This group will train with a variable number of repetitions during each set. The group will stop the set once the mean propulsive velocity will be 20% less compared to the first repetition. Receives: Other: Acute changes; Other: Chronic changes; Other: Familiarization |
| 40% velocity loss | Experimental | This group will train with a variable number of repetitions during each set. The group will stop the set once the mean propulsive velocity will be 40% less compared to the first repetition. Receives: Other: Acute changes; Other: Chronic changes; Other: Familiarization |
| Control group | Placebo comparator | This group will be just tested as a control group. Receives: Other: Chronic changes; Other: Familiarization |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Acute changes, Chronic changes and Familiarization in people with Healthy, run by Alejandro Muñoz López.
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 3 inclusion and 2 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 29 May 2019. 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. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Jesus Gustazo Ponce, PhD (+34 658 87 41 34, jesusgustavo.ponce@uca.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Contraction time (time frame: 7 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03964519, which also lists 15 linked publications.
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 29 May 2019.
