An interventional study of FAM in Energy Expenditure, Body Composition and Resting Metabolic Rate, sponsored by University of Thessaly. Status unknown at 1 site in Greece. Open to male participants aged 40 Years to 60 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-07-01.
Sponsored by University of Thessaly · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
This study aims at investigating the energy expenditure following a single Football trainning session in middle aged males. The participants will perform a soccer training session [A single training session including 60 minutes of warm up, soccer technical exercises and small-sided game] and a cotrol trial (No intervention included, only daily measurements) in randomized, repeated measures, crossover design.
Football is an intermittent sport with frequent activity changes and a high number of explosive movements. As a result, both mitochondrial and the non-mitochondrial energy sources (phosphagens, lactic acid system) are heavily utilized during football practice and games, which may contribute to the rise of oxygen consumption following exercise (EPOC) compared with cardiovascular-type exercise, where VO2 can reach a steady state.However, it is observed that there is a methodological limitation in the determination of total energy expenditure during and after football training and specifically in overwight middle-aged participans with metabolic syndrome.
Twenty overweight middle-aged males with mtabolic syndrome will perform a soccer training session [A single training session including 60 minutes of warm up, soccer technical exercises and small-sided game] and a cotrol trial (No intervention included, only daily measurements) in randomized, repeated measures, crossover design. Anthropometric, biochmeistry indicators, metabolic, blood pressure, physical activity and performance measurements will be measured at baseline. Global positoning system and accelerometry devices will be used to measure the distance and intensity of football trianing. The metabolic cost will be estimated from heart rate, blood lactate, resting oxygen uptake, exercise oxygen uptake, and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption measurements using a portable gas analyzer.
3,767 studies on the registry are indexed under Overweight; 863 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants in this arm will receive no intervention
Participants in this arm will participate in a football training session for 60 minutes. During the training the participans will execute the warm-up process, the part of soccer technical exercises and they will play a small-side-game.
Other: FAM
Participants will perform a recreational Football Training session for 60 minutes. The training will include the warm-up, soccer technical exercises and a small-side game

Started Jun 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2024, 0 months after the start.
Of 1,356 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Overweight, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 38. This study's planned 0 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,472 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36.
