Physical Examination Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of Physical and Cognitive Performance After Simulated Road March Combines Physical and Cognitive Load Using a Virtual Reality Environment
The aim of the research is to evaluate the influence of physical and cognitive load as
pre-mission activity on the soldier`s physical and cognitive performance, in compare to
physical load alone.
In order to do so, 12 healthy subjects will perform stimulated road march using a virtual
reality environment combined with cognitive load and without, and their physical and
cognitive performance will be evaluated by tests before and after.
12 young, healthy civilian volunteers will participate in this study. After reading and
signing an informed consent form, all subjects will undergo medical examination which
includes ECG, anthropometric measurements and Vo2max test.
Afterwards, the subjects will perform randomly 3 experimental days, each consist of physical
and cognitive performance evaluation before and after simulated road march using a virtual
reality environment; once without additional load, once combining cognitive load during the
road march, and once without physical load (without march, waiting between evaluations) as
control.
The experiment will take place in a dome room, and the systems being used are:
1. CAREN high (Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment) which screens virtual scene
in the dome.
2. MOTEK (Motek Medical©, the Netherlands) which is a two track treadmill (for each leg)
placed on a rotatable platform.
cognitive tasks for example: navigation, identification and remembering cars/aircraft.
Physical and cognitive performance will be evaluated at each experimental day, before and
after performing the protocol. at the end of the march, cognitive performance will be
evaluated by validated tests on laptop (SYNWIN activity research services) and executive
function evaluation based on Trail Making Test (TMT), afterwards, Physical performance will
be evaluated by HRV and time to exhaustion test (30 min after the end of cognitive tests).
