Neuromuscular and Cognitive Fatigue During a 24 Hour Treadmill Running Exercise
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Healthy
- Registration Number
- NCT00428779
- Brief Summary
The main purpose of the present study is to determine the relative contributions of central and peripheral fatigue during an ultra-endurance exercise.
- Detailed Description
For that purpose, 14 subjects running 24 hours on a treadmill will be compared with a control group being awake during the same period. Subjects who running will have electrically evoked forces on the muscles associated EMG activity, blood samples and muscle biopsy.
Recruitment & Eligibility
- Status
- COMPLETED
- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 30
Inclusion Criteria
- The subjects of the experimental group will be recruited among experienced ultra-runners . They all have run at least a 12 hour race or longer.
- The control group will be recruited among experienced ultra-runners . Age of control group will be age experimental group more or less 2 years.
Exclusion Criteria
-
The subjects will not be selected if:
- they were injured in the 3 months before the experiment
- they had a tendon or joint pathology that could impair strength measurements.
- they participate to an other experiment at the same time

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method -Voluntary and electrically evoked forces on the contracted muscles 24 hours
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Electrically evoked forces on the relaxed muscles and associated EMG activity 24 hours Blood samples before the exercise every 4 hours Muscle biopsy (vastus lateralis) before and after the exercise
