Effects of Wobenzym® Plus in Healthy, Sportive People After Eccentric Exercise - a Randomized, Two-stage, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Cross-over Trial

The aim of the current study is to investigate the therapeutic effect and especially the mode of action of Wobenzym® plus, an anti-inflammatory drug containing proteolytic enzymes, on exercise induced muscle damage (eiMD) and recovery time in male amateur sportsmen with medium proficiency level compared to placebo.

Study Overview

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

16 years to 46 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Reduction of maximal concentric strength, movement induced pain and pressure induced pain combined in a multidimensional (composite outcome)model giving information about the change induced by the stress test
Time Frame: immediately before, 24h post, 48h post
Multidimensional approach for recovery and acute phase after eccentric stress test. Will be assessed at different time points before and after an excentric stress test and the reduction of these parameters under treatment will be calculated.
immediately before, 24h post, 48h post

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximal concentric strength (Nm) before and after the stress test
Time Frame: immediately before, 0h, 3h, 6h, 24h, 48h, 72h
