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.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: physical tests
N/A

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  1. 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.

  2. Myoglobin [5 experiment days for each subject]

    marker from urine sample, taken before and after step test and running on the anaerobic threshold test.

  3. 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).
