Exertional Rhabdomyolysis- Characterization of Prediction Tests for Return to Duty
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In order to determine norm values for skeleton muscle disassembly due to physical exertion in healthy and trained population, and developing a prediction test for approval for rhabdomyolysis injuries to return to duty, 50 healthy subjects will undergo a series of different physical tests.

Detailed Description
50 healthy civilians volunteers will be recruited for this study. Each subject will undergo the physical tests: anthropometric measurements, wingate test, VO2max test, step test and running on the anaerobic threshold, on separate days. Blood sample, lactic acid level (measured in blood drop - finger sting) and urine sample will be taken before and after every test.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: experimental protocol 50 healthy, male, trained and aged 18-30 will be recruited and asked to undergo a series of physical tests. |
Other: physical tests
each subject will undergo the following physical tests: day 1 - anthropometric measurements, wingate test and after 1 hour rest VO2max test. lactic acid levels will be measured before and after both tests.
day 2 - step test day 3 - running on the anaerobic threshold. blood sample, lactic acid level (measured in blood drop - finger sting) and urine sample will be taken before and after every test in days 2 and 3.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- creatine phosphokinase (CPK) [5 experiment days for each subject]
CPK is a marker for muscle damage assessed in blood test. blood sample will be taken before and after step test and running on the anaerobic threshold test.
- oxygen consumption (VO2) [5 experiment days for each subject]
VO2 will be monitored continuously using a metabolic system (ERGOTEST 680, ZAN, GERMANY ) during VO2max test, step test and running on the anaerobic threshold test.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- lactic acid [5 experiment days for each subject]
lactic acid level is assessed from blood drop (finger sting), will be taken before and after every test. lactic acid is a marker for anaerobic effort evaluating.
- Myoglobin [5 experiment days for each subject]
marker from urine sample, taken before and after step test and running on the anaerobic threshold test.
- Heart rate [5 experiment days for each subject]
The heart rate will be monitored using a wearable heart rate monitor (PolarĀ® sensor and heart rate monitor watch).
