Influence of Acute Daily Workload Changes on Low-frequency Fatigue Morning Scores
An observational study of Fatigue Intensity, run by University of Maia.
Trial summary
In recent years, the increased demands of both training and competition have heightened the need of load monitoring among soccer players. However, adopting metrics that comprehensively capture the intricacies of neuromuscular fatigue remains a challenge. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Influence of Acute Daily Workload Changes on Low-frequency Fatigue Morning Scores Throughout an In-season Soccer Microcycle
In recent years, the increased demands of both training and competition have heightened the need of load monitoring among soccer players. However, adopting metrics that comprehensively capture the intricacies of neuromuscular fatigue remains a challenge. Assessing low-frequency fatigue may contribute to fill this gap, as it provides an objective measure to evaluate muscle function readiness. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine whether variability in low-frequency fatigue morning scores are related to training external load acute changes throughout the in-season microcycle.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Fatigue Intensity, run by University of Maia.
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 1 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Nov 2024. 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. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Filipe Maia (22 986 6000, fmaia.dcd@umaia.pt), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
low-frequency fatigue (time frame: Day 1 (0 hours), Day 2 (24 hours), Day 3 (48 hours), Day 4 (72 hours), Day 5 (96 hours), Day 6 (120 hours)). 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 26 Nov 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
