Trial summary

The study proposes to measure the effect of resitance training (RT) (3/7 method) on biological markers of muscle hypertrophy in a cardiac population. 3/7 method consisting of five sets of an increasing number of repetitions (3 to 7) during successive sets and brief inter-set intervals (15 s).

About this study

Official title: Acute Effects of the 3/7 Method and 3X9 Method in Resistance Training on Testosterone, Glucocorticoid Cortisol, Growth Hormone and Lactate in Heart Failure and Coronary Artery Disease During Cardiac Rehabilitation

The study proposes to measure the effect of resitance training (RT) (3/7 method) on biological markers of muscle hypertrophy in a cardiac population.

3/7 method consisting of five sets of an increasing number of repetitions (3 to 7) during successive sets and brief inter-set intervals (15 s). This method is compare to 3X9 method, 3 series of 9 repetitions with inter-set (1min).The training exercise consisted of contraction on machine (leg press, triceps press, leg curl, traction, leg extension) with load of ~ 70% of one repetition maximal (1RM).

Before these trainings all subject perform HIIT on bicycles (2 min high intensity (80% Wmax) and 2 min low intensity (50% Wmax) during 30 minutes.

The investigators collect blood sample before exercice, after HIIT and after RT.

It is randomized cross-over study.

Read the detailed description

The subjects come on two different days minimum 2 days and maximum 10 days between the two tests. They were instructed to avoid exercise the day before they participated in the study.

The investigators collect blood 2 minutes after endurance training (HIIT) and 2 min after RT training.

Being tested
Cardiac rehabilitation with 3/7 method, Cardiac rehabilitation with 3X9 method

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Lactate

    mmol/l

    Measured: within 2 minutes after TR training session on day 1

  2. change in Testosterone

    nmol/l

    Measured: within 2 minutes after TR training session on day 1

  3. change Glucocorticoid Cortisol

    nmol/l

    Measured: within 2 minutes after TR training session on day 1

  4. change in Growth Hormone

    ng/ml

    Measured: within 2 minutes after TR training session on day 1

  5. change in ph

    venoust

    Measured: within 2 minutes after TR training session on day 1

  6. change PCO2 venoust

    mm Hg

    Measured: within 2 minutes after TR training session on day 1

Secondary outcomes (2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cardiac rehabilitation with 3/7 method and Cardiac rehabilitation with 3X9 method in people with Heart Failure and Resistance Training, run by Université Libre de Bruxelles at 1 site in Belgium.

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 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 14 Feb 2024. 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 Belgium. 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?

Change in Lactate (time frame: within 2 minutes after TR training session on day 1). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05391620, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Feb 2024.
