Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of Descurainia sophia on the state of hydration, thirst and fatigue in non-professional athletes
Design
A controlled, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial on 32 non-professional cyclists. Randomization was done by random block method.
Settings and conduct
In order to collect the samples, the non-professional cycling teams of Urmia will be referred and informed.Sampling will be done by available sampling method.Candidates will be randomly divided into two groups. The volunteers of both groups are asked to drink about 400-600 ml (500 ml on average) equivalent to 14-22 oz of water the night before the trial before going to sleep . They are also asked to drink 250 ml of water immediately after waking up on the day of the experiment. Volunteers of both groups should drink 250 ml of sports drink (syrup containing 6.25 grams of brown sugar per 100 ml) (placebo) or syrup containing 2 grams of Descurainia sophia powder and 6.25 grams of brown sugar 30 minutes before the start of the experiment.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Non-professional cyclists aged 18 to 40 volunteered to participate in the study with a body mass index in the normal range (24.9 to 18.5).
Intervention groups
Volunteers of both groups should drink 250 ml of sports drink (syrup containing 6.25 grams of brown sugar per 100 ml) (placebo) or syrup containing 2 grams of Descurainia sophia powder and 6.25 grams of brown sugar 30 minutes before the start of the experiment. Drink 100 ml at a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and run on a treadmill in a controlled environment for 45 minutes with 80% of the maximum oxygen consumption.
Main outcome variables
In case of clinical and practical confirmation of the effect of Descurainia sophia in improving hydration indicators and quenching thirst in athletes, this plant can be recommended for athletes.

Randomized
Randomization description
Eligible samples will be randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention groups will be given codes A, B, C and the control group will receive code D. The study blocking is as follows: All block modes of these 4 groups are 24 numbers: ABCD, ABDC, ACDB, ACBD, ADBC, ADCB, BACD, BADC, BCAD, BCDA, BDAC, BDCA, CABD, CADB, CBAD, CBDA , CDAB, CDBA, DABC, DASB, DBCA, DBAC, DCAB, DCBA. These blocks will be placed in sealed envelopes inside a container. Then they will be drawn one by one, the first block to be removed will be selected as the first block. In fact, this will be repeated 28 times to complete the sample size. In this way, people enter the study and thus will be divided into groups.

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Thirst evaluation questionnaire will be done at the beginning of the trial and after the end of the study period using the thirst evaluation questionnaire and visual analog scale (VAS) 10 cm self-rating, where zero means no desire to consume liquids and ten means It means extreme thirst.The volunteers' fatigue assessment questionnaire will be completed by the volunteers at the beginning of the trial (minute zero) and after the study period.The volunteers' urine samples will be taken at 0 (before the start of running), 45, 70, 95 and 120 minutes during the trial and will be collected in urine sample containers for analysis. The color and specific density of urine will be measured visually and using a digital refractometer at the mentioned time intervals.
Timepoint
The test will be conducted in controlled conditions (temperature 35°C, relative humidity 30% and cooler temperature 26°C) on a treadmill for 45 minutes.Urine samples of volunteers will be taken at 0 (before the start of running), 45, 70, 95 and 120 minutes during the trial and will be collected in urine sample containers for analysis.Volunteers' blood samples will be taken at 0, 45, and 120 minutes during the trial, and blood analyzes will be performed including measurement of plasma volume and hematocrit.The heart rate of the volunteers will be measured at 0, 45, 70, 95 and 120 minutes during the trial period. Thirst evaluation questionnaire at the beginning of the experiment and after the end of the study period will be completed by the volunteers using the thirst evaluation questionnaire and the fatigue evaluation questionnaire of the volunteers at the beginning of the experiment (zero minute) and after the study.
Method of measurement
Fatigue and thirst questionnaire, refractometer and blood tests to check the specific density of urine
