About this study

Determine if acute supplementation with antioxidant vitamins (vitamin C and vitamin E) influences the muscle damage and fatigue caused after an acute session of eccentric training.

Read the detailed description

A randomized, single-blind, placebo-control parallel trial will be conducted. In a previous session volunteers will be interviewed to determine if they meet the inclusion criteria.

Participants should avoid ingesting of foods that contain high amounts of antioxidant compounds: more than two juices of fruits, more than four cups of coffee or tea. Juices with high antioxidant content should be avoided. Alcoholic beverages should also be avoided. Participants will be divided in to groups and will performance one resistance exercise sessions. Prior to exercise, one group will intake supplementation VitC (1000 mg) + VitE (235 mg) and the other supplementation with placebo.

The following sequence will be performed in each session: 1) baseline assessment (analysis of the composition body, blood draw and parameters of performance) prior to exercise session ; 2) administration of vitamin or placebo supplementation 2 hours before exercise session ; 3) post-exercise assessments (blood biomarkers and performance parameters) immediately after the session and after 24 hours. DOMS will also be assessed 48 h and 72 h after training. The training session implemented will be designed by a Sport Scientific

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dietary Supplement: Vitamin C and vitamin E in people with Oxidative Stress, run by Universidad Europea de Madrid at 1 site in Spain.

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 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

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?

Percentage of body fat and muscle mass (time frame: Prior to the intervention). The study lists 22 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 7 Apr 2022.
