Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the effect of a single exercise session (with both legs) on pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of subcutaneously administered unfractionated heparin.;Secondary Objective: To assess the effect of a single exercise session (with one leg) on pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of subcutaneously administered unfractionated heparin, administered in the exercising vs. the non-exercising leg, respectively.;Primary end point(s): Difference between interventions in change in incremental aPTT;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Peak aPTT for 1-8 hours after UFH injection | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Difference between interventions in change in incremental plasma heparin;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Peak plasma heparin for 1-8 hours after UFH injection | — |
