Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: Secondary outcomes: § Enzyme activity in leucocytes § Acylcarnitine profile § Accelerometer § Borg score (perceived exertion) § Number of episodes of myoglobinuria § Daily muscle pain score (VAS) § Daily diary of energy utilization (Bouchards questionnaire) ;Primary end point(s): The two primary outcomes to asses the potential effect of Bezafibrate is § Fat oxidation and heart rate generated during physical activity on cycle ergometer at a constant workload We expect the fat oxidation in the patients to increase by a factor 1.7. ;Main Objective: The two primary outcomes to asses the potential effect of Bezafibrate is § Fat oxidation and heart rate generated during physical activity on cycle ergometer at a constant workload We expect the fat oxidation in the patients to increase by a factor 1.7.
