Effects of eccentric pedaling on muscle function
Effects of Eccentric Pedaling at Different Rates on Neuromuscular Function
NA · Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon · NCT04886115

What this trial studies
This study investigates how different pedaling rates during eccentric pedaling affect neuromuscular function in individuals capable of moderate physical activity. Participants will undergo neuromuscular evaluations and assessments of aerobic capacity while engaging in pedaling at rates of 15 and 60 rpm, as well as a control condition of no pedaling. The goal is to understand the optimal pedaling frequency for enhancing muscle function and exercise capacity. The findings could provide insights into effective rehabilitation strategies using eccentric exercises.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy individuals aged 18 to 40 who can perform moderate physical activity.
Not a fit: Patients with physical disabilities affecting the lower limbs or those unable to engage in exercise on an ergocycle will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved rehabilitation protocols for enhancing muscle function in individuals engaging in moderate physical activity.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific approach of eccentric pedaling at varying rates is less explored, similar studies have shown promise in enhancing muscle function through eccentric exercises.
