Exercise, coagulation, platelet reactivity, thrombin generation, endofibrosis, cycling
Conditions
Interventions
Blood will be collected before and after long-term strenuous exercise. Coagulation profile will be measured bij Thrombin Generation (CAT), Rotem
Natem and by measuring Thrombin-Antithrombin complex , Coagulation Factor XIa (FXIa), tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA), D-Dimer and von Willebrand Factor (vWf). Platelet reactivity will be assesed b

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expecting to show increased coagulation activity by increased TAT levels, supported by decreased Coagulation Time (CT) and enhanced Maximal clotting formation (MCF) by Rotem and enhanced thrombin generation through CAT assay. Increased fibrinolytic activity is expected by increased tPA and D-Dimer levels. Coagulation activation via the intrinsic pathway can be showed by enhanced thrombin generation in Active Side Inhibitor factor Seven (ASIS) assay. Increased platelet reactivity is expected by multiplate accompanied by a increase in platelet count. Moreover we expect increase vWf levels, due to endothelial dysfunction. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes can be a change in Hematocrit and Haemoglobin, due to plasma volume changes. Moreover, outcomes can be that cycling exercise induces a internal haemostatic profile that can contribute to pathofysiological disease which are very common in cycling, endofibrose of the iliacal artery. Characterized by subendothelial fibrotic tissue formation. Protease Activated Receptors are known that they can induce fibrotic tissue formation and can be activated by coagulation factors (FXa and Thrombin). | — |
