Clinical trial NCT05217589: The Influence of Different Mood States and Emotions on the Physiologic, Metabolic, and Perceptual Responses to Feeding Before Exercise
Official title: The Influence of Different Mood States and Emotions on the Physiologic, Metabolic, and Perceptual Responses to Feeding Before Exercise
Study type: INTERVENTIONAL
Overall status: RECRUITING
Phase: NA
Conditions: Other Gastrointestinal Disorders
Cramp, Abdominal
Lead sponsor: Old Dominion University
Sponsor class: OTHER
First posted: 2022-02-01
Enrollment: 90
Sex: ALL
Minimum age (years): 18
Maximum age (years): 55
Standard ages: ADULT
Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Primary purpose: BASIC_SCIENCE

Brief summary: Many athletes anecdotally report modifying their nutritional intake before competition in order to avoid gut problems, but no studies have evaluated whether emotional state impacts tolerance to pre-exercise feeding. Therefore, this study will use movie clips (stressful, horror, and funny/amusing) to induce different mood states and emotions, which will be followed by ingestion of food before endurance running on a treadmill. In addition, metabolic and physiologic responses to mood induction will be evaluated.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Aged 18 to 55 years
2. Able to run for 30 min at a moderate-to-vigorous intensity without stopping
3. No diagnosis or signs/symptoms of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or metabolic disorders
4. Currently physically active (at least 3 days/week of exercise at a moderate or higher intensity)
5. No visual or hearing impairments interfering with ability to see and hear video clips
6. No allergies to ingredients in Boost drink

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Aged \<18 or \>55 years
2. Unable to run for 30 min at a moderate-to-vigorous intensity without stopping
3. A diagnosis or signs/symptoms of CVD or metabolic disorders
4. Currently physically inactive (\< 3 days/week of exercise at a moderate or higher intensity)
5. Visual or hearing impairments interfering with ability to see and hear video clips
6. Allergies to ingredients in Boost drink

Primary outcomes:
measure: Total exercise gastrointestinal symptom burden
timeFrame: Total GI symptom burden over a 30-minute jogging/running protocol.
measure: Change in emotion ratings
timeFrame: Change in emotion ratings between immediately pre-video and immediately post-video.
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Change over time in exercise heart rate
timeFrame: Heart rate will be measured throughout a 30-minute treadmill jogging/running test. Change over time will be evaluated using mixed ANOVA.
measure: Substrate use
timeFrame: Carbohydrate and fat oxidation rates will be measured during the last 5 min of a 30-minute treadmill jogging/running test.
measure: Feeling Scale
timeFrame: Ratings on the Feeling Scale will be measured at rest before watching video clips and throughout (every 5 min) a subsequent 30-minute treadmill jogging/running test.
measure: Fatigue Scale
timeFrame: Ratings on the Fatigue Scale will be measured at rest before watching video clips and throughout (every 5 min) a subsequent 30-minute treadmill jogging/running test.
measure: Heart rate post-video
timeFrame: Heart rate will be recorded immediately after videos are viewed.
