The effects of regular exercıse on oxıdatıve and antıoxıdatıve parameters ın young wrestlers
Özet
The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the lipoprotein profile and the oxidant, antioxidant status in wrestlers with those in healthy control group of similar age and sex. The study covered 22 male wrestlers (18.50 ± 1.35 years) and 12 male sedentary controls (18.41 ± 1.08 years). A typical practice session consisted of live-wrestling, wrestling drills, calesthenics, instruction, running and weight training. On the other h and the control subjects who were high school sedentary students did not practice any exercise throughout the study. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethical Committee. The measuremets were blood sample, total antioxidative capacity of plasma, total peroxide concentration of plasma, total oxidant status, oxidative stress index and lipid profile. Data are presented as means ± sd. When data did not follow the Gaussian distribution, the Mann-Whitney nonparametric test (U-test) was used to compare the different groups at p < 0.05 level in the bilateral situation. High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level (p < 0.05), total antioxidant capacity, lipid hydroperoxide level, total oxidative stress and plasma oxidative stress index (p < 0.01) increased significantly in the wrestlers. In conclusion, participating in wrestling training increased oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity when compared with untrained controls. © 2010 Academic Journals.
