Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acute local skeletal muscle inflammatory response to thigh muscle (quadriceps) eccentric muscle actions. Eccentric muscle actions occur when the muscle is lengthening as it contracts. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acute local skeletal muscle inflammatory response to thigh muscle (quadriceps) eccentric muscle actions. Eccentric muscle actions occur when the muscle is lengthening as it contracts. This is a pilot project to assess the degree of inflammatory biomarkers, called myokines, that are released locally in skeletal muscle tissue after an acute bout of resistance-exercise using a resistance-exercise machine called an isokinetic dynamometer.

Read the detailed description

The intervention will involve one session of maximal eccentric exercise of the knee extensor muscles (quadriceps) of the right leg. During the 24-hour period preceding the intervention, participants will be asked to refrain from any for of moderate-vigorous physical activity or exercise. Participants will perform 30 sets of 10 repetitions of maximal isokinetic eccentric knee extensions at 60 degrees/second with 1-minute of rest between each set. Before completing the exercise bout, each participant will be asked to remain in a seated position (resting) for 30-minutes and then provide a skeletal muscle biopsy using the modified Bergstrom with suction muscle biopsy technique from the vastus lateralis on the right leg. This will be done for the baseline assessment of 5 myokines including apelin, fibroblast growth factor-21, irisin, interleukin-6, and interleukin-15. Then the participants will complete the exercise bout as described above. They will then rest quietly in the laboratory for 3-hours and wait for the second skeletal muscle biopsy to be taken following this 3-hour wait.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Eccentric resistance-exerciseProcedure or surgery

    Each participant will complete 300 repetitions of eccentric knee extensions using an isokinetic dynamometer after a baseline skeletal muscle biopsy is taken. Three hours following this, a second muscle biopsy will be taken to evaluate the changes in the dependent variables being measured (myokines).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Eccentric resistance-exercise in people with Skeletal Muscle, run by University of Manitoba at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 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 7 Nov 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 Canada. 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?

Contact Stephen M Cornish, PhD (204-381-7296, Stephen.Cornish@umanitoba.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Apelin (time frame: Baseline and 3-hours post-exercise). The study lists 5 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 Nov 2024.
