Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The aim of this study is to verify the effect of an acute dose of tramadol, compared to an acute dose of paracetamol and compared to placebo, on physical and cognitive performance in cyclists; Secondary Objective: 1. To investigate the effect of tramadol vs. paracetamol vs. placebo on physiological and subjective parameters related to cycling performance (1st and 2nd year). 2. To investigate the effect of tramadol vs. paracetamol vs. placebo on sustained attention (at the cognitive and brain levels) during cycling performance at constant load and during a self-paced indoor time trial (both on objective and subjective performance parameters) (1st and 2nd year). 3. To investigate the effect of tramadol vs. paracetamol vs. placebo on cycling performance during short maximal intensity efforts (1st and 2nd year) using repeated 30 seconds Wingate cycling tests. ; Primary end point(s): Recruitment Pilot Data collection Data Analysis ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Recruitment, month 13 Pilot, month 6 Data collection, month 18 Data Analysis, month 24
