U.S., May 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07563452) titled 'Exercise Intensity and Muscle Recovery in Statin Users' on April 17.
Brief Summary: This study aims to investigate how different types and intensities of exercise affect muscle recovery in individuals taking statin medications compared to healthy controls. Statins are essential for cardiovascular prevention but are often associated with muscle-related side effects (SAMS), which can be exacerbated by physical activity.
The study will compare aerobic cycling (low muscular strain) with resistance training (RT) at increasing intensities (40%, 60%, and 80% of estimated 1-repetition maximum; e1RM). Researchers will measure markers of muscl...
