NCT ID: NCT06084494 Completed - Clinical trials for Physiological Stress

Validation of Heat Stress Limit Values for the Athletic Performance

HSL-AP
Start date: October 21, 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Three male and three female semi-professional athletes, ranging in age from 22 to 27, participated in a study that was done at Lund University in Sweden to examine their physiological responses. The temperature and relative humidity were adjusted at 40 degrees Celsius for hot, dry conditions and 31 degrees Celsius for hot, wet conditions, respectively. The participants were instructed to engage in physical activity on a treadmill within the chamber for 70 minutes, or until participants were able to continue their exercise without difficulty within the allotted period. Participants were instructed to walk (5 kph) and run (8 kph). Participants pulse rate, breathing rate, oxygen consumption, and subjective reactions were all recorded. On the basis of the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), a heat stress index, the American College of Sports Medicine has made certain suggestions. The technique used to determine the temperature on a Celsius scale took into account the influences of relative humidity, air temperature, wind, and direct sunlight radiation. The American College of Sports Medicine advises delaying athletic competition when the WBGT is above 28 degrees. In the climate control chamber, the trials were carried out in high-risk circumstances (28 degrees Celsius WBGT). According to the study's findings, exercise is influenced by weather, and as air temperature rises, so do the intensity of exertion and thermal feeling.

NCT ID: NCT05998148 Completed - Surgery Clinical Trials

Virtual Phone Visits Compared to In-Person Physical Visits for Post-Operative Follow-Up at a Sports Medicine Clinic

Start date: March 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will compare patient reported outcomes (PROs) and patient satisfaction scores of patients seen at virtual phone visits with patients seen at in-person visits for post-operative follow up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months at a sports medicine clinic. This study will determine if there is a difference in PROs and satisfaction scores between these two groups of patients. The investigators hypothesize patients who are seen during a virtual phone visit will report different PRO and patient satisfaction scores compared to patients who are seen during an in-person visit for post-operative follow-up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6-months.

Trail Sciences Clecy: Markers of Performances

Start date: November 9, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The Scientific Trail Protocol of Clécy - Suisse Normande (TCS) is exploratory study including several specific protocols, on a real event of 156 km on hilly terrain (6000 m of difference in level), allowing to evaluate the constraints and immediate (6000 m of difference in altitude), allowing to evaluate the constraints and the immediate physiological adaptations under race conditions. The evaluations will be performed by collecting biological and neurobiological variables before, during and after the race (inflammation, hydro-electrolytic, cardiac, renal and muscular balance), physiological parameters whose thermoregulatory processes (core temperature, skin temperature, hydration), neuromuscular fatigue, cognitive performances (motivation, attention, emotion) and sleep changes (before, during and after the race).

NCT ID: NCT05356065 Completed - Sports Injury Clinical Trials

The Turkish Version of the OSTRC Questionnaires

Start date: January 26, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Exposure to repetitive activities and heavy workloads makes athletes vulnerable to overuse injuries over time. Well-timed detection of these injuries is crucial to maintaining their sports career healthily. The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre questionnaires for Overuse Injury (OSTRC-O) and Health Problems (OSTRC-H) are universally used as valid and reliable tools in athlete health screening. This study aims to make them available for Turkish athletes. The internal consistency, reproducibility, and validity of the questionnaires were analyzed. Data were obtained from 72 athletes from different sports types. 33 participants were screened weekly for six weeks to detect score changes and calculate effect sizes. Participants filled out the OSTRC-O, the OSTRC-H, the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ), and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) for validity analyses. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability values were very high for both questionnaires. There was a moderate correlation between OSTRC-O and OSTRC-H scores with CMDQ and NHP. The area under the curve (AUC) values were adequate for all scales. The effect size values were moderate for all scales. Turkish versions of the OSTRC-O and OSTRC-H questionnaires are valid and reliable tools for Turkish-speaking athletes in different sports branches.

NCT ID: NCT05236127 Completed - Clinical trials for Intermittent Fasting

The Effect of Intermittent Fasting on Acute Subconcussive Head Impacts

Start date: January 23, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of intermittent fasting on the acute neural responses to subconcussive head impacts. The study is designed to identify the effects of 20 controlled soccer headings in college-aged soccer players in one of four groups (fasted, pre-fasted, post-fasted, or control) through the use of neural-injury blood biomarkers, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, functional, and diffusion MRI, and ocular-motor function across 4 acute time points. The central hypothesis is that the neuronal structural, physiological, and functional impairments from the subconussive head impacts will be lessened by intermittent fasting either before or after the soccer headings. The neural-injury blood biomarkers neurofilament light (NfL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), Ubiquitin C-Terminal Hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1), and Tau will be measured in serum, with the hypothesis that fasting prior to the 20 soccer headings will result in a decreased heightened response compared to the post-heading fasted group and the controls. It is also hypothesized that repetitive subconcussive head impacts will impair neurocognitive function, as measured by regional changes in fMRI activation during a working memory task in the fasted groups. Twenty headings will significantly alter fMRI activation in the fasted groups from baseline. This impairment will not be observed in the control group. White matter microstructure will be measured by diffusion imaging metrics, with the hypothesis that 20 soccer headings will significantly disrupt microstructure in the fasted groups compared to baseline, but not in the control group. The study will also assess neuro-opthalmologic function as measured by the King-Devick test (KDT) and oculomotor function as measured by near-point-of-convergence (NPC) in response to subconcussive head impacts. The hypothesis is that NPC performance will be significantly impaired for longer than 24 hours in all the groups, but this impairment will be greater in the control group, and that the learning curve and expected improvement of KDT will be significantly blunted in both groups, with a display worsening in the control group.

NCT ID: NCT04536246 Completed - Clinical trials for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture

Comparison of Functional Outcome Between BQT and SBHT ACL Reconstruction

BQTSBHTFMUI
Start date: February 1, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

ACL rupture has a high morbidity in productive-age population. The increasing incidence and proper management has become a point of interest in the musculoskeletal sport injury. Choosing the best graft has become the main focus in searching for a better outcome regarding ACL reconstruction in these patient population. Currently, single bundle hamstring tendon (SBHT) autograft was preferred in Asian population compared to bone quadriceps tendon (BQT) autograft. However, there are some problems such as smaller size, as well as diameter, of SBHT. This study is focused on evaluation of the clinical outcome between BQT and SBHT in arthroscopic-assisted ACL reconstruction patients.

NCT ID: NCT04485494 Completed - Clinical trials for Traumatic Brain Injury

Blood-based Biomarkers for the Prognosis of Sports Related Concussion

Start date: July 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The diagnosis of sports related concussion still relies heavily on a subjective assessment. In this study the investigators want to assess the prognostic value of blood-based biomarkers with recovery from concussive episodes over specific time points post-injury. Our research aims to (1) assess that the World Rugby's head injury assessment (HIA) can identify that a concussion has taken place by measuring specific biomarkers in the blood and (2) to track these biomarkers over time post-injury as a means to assess player health.
