What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Changes in mental capacity - Simple reaction psychomotor test
Time Frame: The test will be applied on day 1 and 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
|
The examined individual should sit in front of the monitor with the index finger of the dominant hand positioned on the sensor (called the ''stand-by key'') located on the control panel.
The individual will be instructed to hold their finger on the ''stand-by key'' and move it to the ''reaction key'' as soon as the stimulus (yellow light) appears.
|
The test will be applied on day 1 and 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
|
Changes in mental capacity - Psychomotor test of reaction of choice
Time Frame: The test will be applied on day 1 and 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
|
One individual was instructed to respond appropriately and as quickly as possible to stimuli appearing on the screen using the upper and lower limbs. Five colored optical stimuli (white, yellow, blue, green, and red) in the form of a circle appeared on the screen, and each circle received its own ''reaction key'' on the control panel that corresponded to the color of the stimulus. The examined individual was asked to respond to the stimulus by pressing the corresponding ''reaction key'' with the right or left hand, and the foot was also instructed to press the right or left pedal whenever a white rectangular light appeared on the black background of the screen. Finally, the test included reaction to acoustic stimuli. |
The test will be applied on day 1 and 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
|
Changes in the modulation of the inflammatory profile - Collection of blood samples and analysis of biomarkers
Time Frame: Blood samples will be collected 1 hour before the high-intensity strength exercise and 1 hour after.
|
Will be evaluated in the blood samples collected: plasma biomarkers, which include lactate concentration (LA).
In plasma, creatine kinase (CK), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and concentrations of testosterone (T), cortisol © and growth hormone (GH) will be analyzed.
In addition to serum concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers such as interleukins (IL-6, IL-8, IL10) and TNF-alpha.
|
Blood samples will be collected 1 hour before the high-intensity strength exercise and 1 hour after.
|
Changes in physical capacity - Dynamometer
Time Frame: The dynamometer will be applied on day 1 and 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
|
The dynamometer is an instrument used to measure muscle strength objectively.
In this study will be used the static dynamometer that demonstrated measurement reliability in other clinical trials (HIRANO et al., 2020; MARTINS et al., 2018).
|
The dynamometer will be applied on day 1 and 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
|
Changes in physical capacity - Jump tests
Time Frame: The jump tests will be applied on day 1 and 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
|
The jump tests are used as a measure of explosive strength and muscle power and this methodology will also be used in this research.
The effectiveness of strength assessment in the countermovement jump test has already been validated in other clinical studies (CARBAKAPA et al., 2023).
|
The jump tests will be applied on day 1 and 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
|
Changes in physical capacity - Functional tests
Time Frame: The 6-minute step test will be applied on day 1 and 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
|
Functional tests assess strength in more complex movements related to day-to-day activities.
In these studies, the 6-minute step test will be applied, as determined its reliability for the evaluation of muscle strength in a previous study (ARCURI et al., 2016).
|
The 6-minute step test will be applied on day 1 and 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
|
Changes in physical capacity - Muscular endurance test
Time Frame: The abdominal resistance test will be applied on day 1 and 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
|
Muscle endurance tests assess the ability of muscles to sustain a contraction for a prolonged period.
In this study will be used the abdominal resistance test, through the plank test, already reproduced effectively in another study (KOUMANTAKIS et al., 2021).
|
The abdominal resistance test will be applied on day 1 and 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Subjective change in muscle strength - Subjective analysis of fatigue
Time Frame: The questionnaire will be applied on day 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice and the force tests. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
|
A questionnaire will be developed about the subjective perception of patients about the effects of the treatment employed in the recovery of muscle fatigue.
The questions will be based on the Chalder scale and the International Short-Form Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF) (LEE et al., 2011).
However, the feeling of improvement or not of physical fatigue after exercise will be the focus of the preparation of a new and unprecedented questionnaire.
|
The questionnaire will be applied on day 11 of the study, after the period of 10 days drinking Juçara juice and the force tests. The same methodology will be used in the patients who received the placebo product.
