Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Male subjects performed three bouts of exercise in which knee extension and leg press 45 degrees were executed in sequence. In low intensity sequence, 15 unilateral knee extensions were followed by 15 unilateral repetitions of leg press 45 degrees with 30% and 60% of one maximum repetition load (1-RM), respectively. In the high intensity sequence, the same order was used, but the load applied was 60% of one maximum repetition load (1-RM) for both exercises. One single set of 15 repetitions of leg press 45 degrees at 60% of one maximum repetition load (1-RM) was performed as control exercise. The bouts were performed in three different days with 48 to 96 hours between them. The surface electromyographic signal was recorded from the vastus lateralis muscle with a linear electrodes array during the multi-joint exercises.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 237967 0
The electromyographic signals, recorded with linear electrodes array (LISiN - Ot Bioelettronica, Italy) during multi-joint exercises, were analyzed by specific routines developed in the software Matlab 6.5 (Mathworks - Natik, USA). The root mean square (RMS) value was determined for each repetition of leg press 45 degrees and, from these results, a linear regression was calculated. The slopes of regression lines were normalized by their initial values to represent the percentual increase of the root mean square (RMS) value and then compared by the one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures performed on a computer using the Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS 13.0, Lead Technologies, USA). A higher percentual increase in root mean square (RMS) was observed when a single-joint exercise preceded the multi-joint exercise.
Timepoint [1] 237967 0
The bouts were performed in three different days with 48 to 96 hours between them. The electromyographic signal was registered during the execution of leg press 45 degrees of each bout and signal analyses were performed after the end of each test.
Secondary outcome [1] 242070 0
The number of repetitions executed during both single and multi-joint exercises was registered by the researcher. As not all the subjects were capable to execute the 15 repetitions proposed, the number of repetitions were also compared by the one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures calculated with the Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS 13.0, Lead Technologies, USA).
Timepoint [1] 242070 0
The researchers spotted all the experimental procedure and registered the number of repetitions executed by the subjects during both single and multi-joint exercises of each bout.
