U.S., July 31 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07735507) titled 'Effects of a Familiarization Protocol on Time to Exhaustion Performance' on July 24.
Brief Summary: Familiarization is widely recommended before exercise performance testing to improve measurement consistency and reduce learning effects. However, practical constraints often limit researchers to a single-or no-familiarization session, raising the possibility that improvements observed following an intervention may partially reflect increased familiarity with the testing procedure rather than genuine physiological adaptations. This issue may be particularly relevant for time-to-exhaustion (TTE) protocols, which have been reported to e...
