Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

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.

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
Change from baseline in Agility fatigue index
Time Frame: Baseline and 4h post-baseline
Agility fatigue index (FI) will be calculated from Repeat Agility Performance Test, using 'Brower equipment'. This assessment includes a 24 meter agility run, repeated on 6 occasions, with every sprint and recovery interval lasting for 65 seconds (eg. if the first agility effort takes the participant 5 seconds, they will have 55 seconds to return to start line for a 5 seconds countdown before their second agility effort). Agility FI=[100X(total agility time÷ideal agility time)]-100. Here, ideal agility time is the best agility time for each participant multiplied by number of repetitions
Baseline and 4h post-baseline

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
Change from baseline in Speed fatigue index
Time Frame: Baseline and 4h post-baseline
Speed fatigue index (FI) will be calculated from Repeat Sprint Performance Test, using 'Brower equipment'. This assessment includes a 30 meter sprint, repeated on 6 occasions, with every sprint and recovery interval lasting for 65 seconds (eg. if the first sprint takes the participant 5 seconds, they will have 55 seconds to return to start line for a 5 second countdown before their second sprint). Speed FI=[100X(total speed time÷ideal speed time)]-100. Here, ideal speed time is the best speed time for each participant multiplied by number of repetitions
Baseline and 4h post-baseline
Change from baseline in Mean power output
Time Frame: Baseline and 4h post-baseline
Mean power output (MPO) will be calculated from Wingate Anaerobic Test, using 'Cycle ergometer'. The participant is allowed to pedal at a constant pace, without resistance and then with additional weights (resistance). This is repeated on three occasions. Overall MPO=(sum of MPO from 3 repetitions at baseline)-(sum of MPO from 3 repetitions at post treatment).
Baseline and 4h post-baseline

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
May 1, 2015

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
May 1, 2015

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
