Lactate transport in red blood cells during exercise
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your red blood cells move lactate during exercise. It compares trained athletes to sedentary people to understand how fitness affects this process. You might help researchers learn more about exercise metabolism.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your BMI must be between 18 and 25.
- You cannot be a smoker.
- If you are trained: you exercise at least 5 hours per week, with at least 3 hours being endurance training, and have a doctor's note saying you're fit for intense exercise.
- If you are sedentary: you exercise less than 1 day per week or less than 2 hours of structured exercise per week.
- You cannot have any medical condition that would prevent you from doing the exercise tests.
- If you are female, your menstrual cycles must be regular (no irregular periods, oligomenorrhea, or amenorrhea).
Quick eligibility check

This trial looks at how high lactate levels (a natural chemical in your body) affect the way your body uses fat and sugar. It is for people with metabolic syndrome who are already physically active.
This study tests whether an infusion of lactate (a natural substance) can help keep blood flow steady to your heart and brain during intense exercise. It is for healthy, middle-aged to older adults who want to learn how lactate affects vital organs.
This study looks at how your muscles use fuel during exercise by measuring blood lactate. It may help researchers understand “metabolic inflexibility” and why some people rely more on fast, short-lasting energy during activity.
This study looks at how blood flow and lactate (a chemical your body makes) in the brain differ between people with a healthy weight and those with obesity. It may help researchers understand how weight affects brain function.
This study looks at how endurance exercise affects the bacteria living in your gut. Researchers will collect samples before and after exercise to see what changes. It may help us understand how exercise keeps your gut healthy.
This study looks at different markers of fitness in your blood and body. You will do a maximal exercise test on a bike or treadmill, give a blood sample, and fill out some questionnaires to help researchers understand overall health.
