About this trial

This is an interventional basic science trial for Energy Metabolism

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria:

  • approval and written, informed consent
  • healthy adults of varying fitness levels (age >18 years to 75 years)

Exclusion criteria:

  • chronic illness requiring any medication
  • pregnancy
  • limitations regarding functioning in the hypoxic chamber
  • inability to follow simple instructions
  • relevant or severe abnormalities in medical history, physical examination, ECG routine laboratory parameters from blood and urine

Sites / Locations

  • Charité University Experimental & Clinical Research Center

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Coefficient of variation of relative quantities of metabolites and physiological parameters related to its dynamic during exercise under normoxic and hypoxic conditions, using GC-MS.
A drop of capillary blood (20 µl) will be collected from the hyperemic earlobe for metabolomic analysis at the times t = 0 min (before starting), 10 min, 20 min and 30 min during the activity, and t = 50 and 60 min taken in the recovery phase. The oxygen saturation and heart rate will be determined at the same time points by pulse oximetry and heart rate monitoring, as well as blood gas analyses and subjective self-perception of energy availability on a quantitative scale throughout exercise.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim is to define in detail metabolic pathways at rest and during aerobic exercise in normal and healthy men and women under normobaric normoxic and moderate hypoxic conditions, using metabolomics technologies based on minimally invasive sampling relying on gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.

8. Arms, Groups, and Interventions

Intervention Type
Behavioral
Intervention Name(s)
30-minute movement activity
Intervention Description
The subjects arrive in the CRU after a 12 hours overnight fast to perform a 30-minute movement activity with individually adapted exercise intensity on the treadmill.
Intervention Type
Other
Intervention Name(s)
Hypoxia
Intervention Description
The 30-minute movement activity on the treadmill will be completed by each subject once under normobaric normoxic and once under normobaric hypoxic conditions (equivalent to approximately 3000 meters above sea level) in a randomized episode.
