Run, Recovery, Repeat, Always Healthy ("Corre, Recupera, Repite, Siempre Saludable")

This study has as main objective to know how the processes of recovery are realized after a race of marathon. For this, the participants of a marathon race are divided into three work groups during the 9 days post-marathon, one with rest in the recovery period, another with continuous race three sessions every 48h and another with three sessions of elliptical every 48h .

About this study

The marathon runners suffer a high fatigue, as has been studied by different investigations, the proposal of this study is to know how the recovery processes are produced in runners who have completed a 42km test.

To do this, baseline measurements of the runners have been made through stress tests and determinations of biomarkers in blood and urine. Subsequently blood and urine samples were taken the day before the marathon test and blood and urine samples were then taken again on arrival at 24h, 48h, 96h, 144h, and 196h.

At the same time, an intervention was carried out in the recovery phase, with the runners in three groups. The first one performed rests during the 9 days after the race, the second performed continuous race monitored every 48h from the end of the race, and the third group performed aerobic work on an elliptical machine under the same conditions as the group of Continuous race

Treatment and study plan

Athletics track

Other

Running at 95-105% aerobic Threshold on athletics track 48h, 96h, 144h after the race. Control heart devices

Elliptical machine

Running at 95-105% aerobic Threshold on elliptical machine 48h, 96h, 144h after the race. Control heart devices

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in the Blood Physiological parameters

    Time frame: baseline, 0, 24, 48, 96, 144 and 192 hours post-race

    Blood test

  2. Analysis of tne changes in the Physical activity data

    Time frame: One month before the pre-race, accelerometers were worn during seven days. Accelerometers were also worn during nine days starting from the night before the marathon race

    Physical activity measured by wearing accelerometer devices. Physical activity defined as sedentary, light, moderate and vigorous. The aim to wear accelerometers devices is to monitor individuals during recovery time post-marathon race

  3. Change in the Urin Physiological parameters

    Time frame: baseline, 0, 48, 96, 144 and 192 hours post-race

    Urin test

Secondary outcomes

  1. Self-reported questionnaire

    Time frame: One month before the race day

    Personal questionnaire asking for social and training habits

  2. Strength level

    Time frame: pre-marathon race and 0, 48, 96, 144 hours post-marathon race

    Squat Jump (cm). Two jumps per person

  3. Analysis of the change of body mass index

    Time frame: one month before the marathon race day, 24 hours before the marathon race, 2 hours before the marathon race and 10 minutes after the marathon race

    BMI

  4. Physical Condition

    Time frame: One month before the marathon race day

    Maximal oxygen consumption

  5. Body composition

    Time frame: One month before the marathon race day

    Bioimpedance analysis

  6. Heart rate

    Time frame: Through marathon completion, an average of 4 hours

    Recording the number of contractions of the heart per minute (bpm) by using a heart rate monitor during all the marathon race
