About this study

All the study participants performed the Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT) with maximal effort. The experimental group (E) performed a 3-minute recovery protocol based on low-intensity breathing Voluntary Isocapnic Hyperpnea exercises 20 minuter after cessation of the exercise, whereas the control group (C) used passive recovery only. All study participants were advised to sit during the 30-minute period, with minimal walking in order to meet the physiological needs allowed. The blood samples were taken 3 minutes and 30 minutes after cessation of the exercise to measure the bLa. The Borg CR-10 Scale was presented to the participants 3 minutes and 30 minutes after cessation of the exercise to measure the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) (Borg, 1998).

Read the detailed description

All the study participants performed the Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT) with maximal effort. The experimental group (E) performed a 3-minute recovery protocol based on low-intensity breathing VIH exercises 20 minuter after cessation of the exercise, whereas the control group (C) used passive recovery only. All study participants were advised to sit during the 30-minute period, with minimal walking in order to meet the physiological needs allowed. The blood samples were taken 3 minutes and 30 minutes after cessation of the exercise to measure the bLa. The Borg CR-10 Scale was presented to the participants 3 minutes and 30 minutes after cessation of the exercise to measure the rate of perceived exertion (RPE).

WAnT was conducted using a Monark 874E Cycle Ergometer (Monark Exercise AB, Sweden). Prior to the test, a standard warm-up of 5 minutes was performed with a load of 0.8-1.2 W/kg. Then, athletes performed a maximal 6-second sprint with a load adjusted to 7.5% of the individual body weight. Following a 2-minute rest period, the athletes underwent a 30-second WAnT with the load adjusted to 7.5% of the individual body weight. The objective for the subjects was to achieve the highest possible peak power as fast as possible and maintain the highest power output throughout the whole test duration. Loud and dynamic verbal encouragement was provided. The testing took place between 9:00 and 10:30 AM. The basic mechanical parameters of the exercise, including performed work and maximum power, were computed with dedicated software (MCE 6.0 - JBA Z. Staniak, Poland) linked to the cycle ergometer.

The recovery protocol consisted of 3' of breathing with 20 breaths·min-1 frequency. The Isocapnic BreathWayBetter devices (Isocapnic Technologies Inc, Kelowna, Canada) with 6-liter bags were used. The protocol was performed in a seating position.

Blood samples were taken from fingertips by skilled technicians to 20 uL capillary tubes. bLa was measured with Super GL2 analyzer (Dr. Müller Gerätebau GmbH, Freital, Germany).

Whereas participants and data collectors were aware of the allocated training method, the laboratory technicians performing biochemistry assays were kept blinded to the allocation. The participants were assigned at random to either E or C group to perform VIH protocol under a supervision of qualified physiotherapist.

Stratified randomization to assign the participants was used. First, the participants were assigned to subgroups based on the membership in National Development or National Elite Team. Then, the participants were assigned to subgroups based on the gender. Then, the participants were assigned to E or C group based on the coin toss.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in blood lactate (bLa)

    The blood samples were taken 3 minutes and 30 minutes after cessation of the exercise to measure the bLa.

    Blood samples were taken from fingertips by skilled technicians to 20 uL capillary tubes. bLa was measured with Super GL2 analyzer (Dr. Müller Gerätebau GmbH, Freital, Germany).

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. Changes in rate of perceived exertion (RPE)

    The Borg CR-10 Scale was presented to the participants 3 minutes and 30 minutes after cessation of the exercise to measure the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) (Borg, 1998).

    Measured: 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Voluntary Isocapnic Hyperpnea in people with Blood Lactate Decrease, run by Institute of Sport - National Research Institute, Poland at 1 site in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Aug 2023. 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 Poland. 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?

Changes in blood lactate (bLa) (time frame: 30 minutes). 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 NCT05994092, 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 18 Aug 2023.
