NCT04371237

Brief Summary

To determine if modalities designed to improve blood flow combined with post-exercise nutrient intake will improve replenishment of muscle glycogen better than nutrient intake alone. A secondary objective is to compare the effectiveness of heat therapy and intermittent pneumatic compression on glycogen replenishment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Rate of glycogen resynthesis

    Leg skeletal muscle glycogen level assessment using assay kit

    Change from baseline to 1.5 hrs and 3.5 hrs post exercise bout. Biopsy 1 post-exercise pre nutrient intake 1 and compression (IPC) or heat, biopsy 2 post compression or heat, pre-nutrition intake 2, biopsy 3 at 210 min. Higher rate is better.

  • Muscle functional recovery: Skeletal muscle function

    Work fatigue (%) of the knee extensors measured using an isokinetic dynamometer

    Change from pre-exercise to post-exercise and prior to biopsies and treatments, and 24 hours post exercise. Less fatigue is better.

  • Muscle functional recovery: Perceived muscle soreness

    Knee extensor muscle soreness on a visual analog scale (VAS) of 100 mm after stepping on and off a 40 cm (female) or 45 cm (male) box three times

    Change from pre-exercise to post-exercise and prior to biopsies and treatments, and 24 hours post exercise. Less soreness is better.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • mRNA expression of genes involved in regulation of glucose and glycogen metabolism and muscle functional recovery

    Change from baseline to 1.5 hours and 3.5 hours post exercise bout. Biopsy 1 post-exercise pre- nutrient intake 1 and compression (IPC) or heat, biopsy 2 post compression or heat and pre- nutrition intake 2, biopsy 3 at 210 min. Higher expression better.

  • Serum insulin

    Change from post exercise at same time as biopsy 1 (Time 0), biopsy 2 (1.5 hrs) and biopsy 3 (3.5 hrs)

  • Serum Glucose

    Change from post exercise at same time as biopsy 1 (Time 0), biopsy 2 (1.5 hrs) and biopsy 3 (3.5 hrs

Study Arms (2)

Intermittent pneumatic compression

EXPERIMENTAL

IPC sleeve device on leg

Device: Compression sleeveOther: Glycogen-depleting exercise sessionOther: Nutrient Intake (beverage)Procedure: Skeletal muscle biopsy

Heat therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Custom water-circulating garment on leg

Device: Heat therapyOther: Glycogen-depleting exercise sessionOther: Nutrient Intake (beverage)Procedure: Skeletal muscle biopsy

Interventions

From foot to hip/groin on both legs with only 1 leg connected to pneumatic pump for 1 hour

Also known as: IPC
Intermittent pneumatic compression

Custom leg garment with one leg heated by circulating hot water approx 40 degrees C, the other leg approx 32 degrees C (thermoneutral) for 1 hour

Heat therapy

Prolonged intermittent high intensity running (LIST protocol)

Heat therapyIntermittent pneumatic compression

Post-exercise, all participants will receive a beverage containing 1.0 g/kg carbohydrate and 0.3 g/kg protein from the mixture of Gatorade Recover Protein Shake and Gatorade Thirst Quencher

Heat therapyIntermittent pneumatic compression

Vastus lateralis muscle in the lower thigh will be obtained by the percutaneous needle technique

Heat therapyIntermittent pneumatic compression
