FACEFI : Cardiac Fatigue During Intense Exercises - Pilot Study

NCT02126891 | Unknown DMC

• 1 other identifier: 2013-A01524-41
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 23
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

To attest if a cardiac fatigue appears (and to measure it if it does) during intense physical exercises in two groups of subjects:

• Canoeists from a training center of the French canoeing team during an intensive session of three weeks of endurance training;
• Young recruits in military school of officers in ground forces of the French army during an intensive.

Conditions

Muscle; Fatigue, Heart

Keywords

Cardiac functions; Endurance training; Senior athletes

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Measure of classical echocardiographic parameters to attest systolic and diastolic functions

  Speckle tracking will also be used to get strain parameters of the left ventricle. Measure will by recording daily before, during, and after a period of intensive training, in order to attest possible cardiovascular effects of such periods. Echocardiographic data will be recorded at rest and during a submaximal exercise.

  day 8 (canoeists) / day 5 (military)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Measure of classical heart rate variability parameters

  day 8 (canoeists) / day 5 (military)

Procedure: Tests

Military

EXPERIMENTAL

10 young recruits in military school of officers in ground forces of the French army

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 35 Years
• Sex: male
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Healthy men between 18 and 35 years old;
• Giving their writing informed consent;
• And affiliated to the French social security.

You may not qualify if:

• To be a smoker.
• To present any known pathology that forbids the realisation of any test, or that can alter the measurements: cardiovascular risk factors treated or not (diabetes, dyslipidaemia, arterial hypertension, obesity), cardiac arrhythmia, coronary disease, heart failure, cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator, valvular disease after surgery or not, kidneys failure with dialyse or not, kidney pulmonary cardiac or liver transplantation, chronic bronchopneumopathy, asthma, etc.
• To take any medication that could alter autonomic nervous system or cardiovascular adaptation to maximal exercise (anti-arrhythmia, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory,…).
• Drinking exciting drinks (coffee or tee for example) in the 12h before the tests.
• To be under legal protection (trusteeship, guardianship) or to be deprived of liberty.
