The effect of a bout of strength eccentric exercise on some inflammatory indices between athletes and non-athletes male students

The purpose of study was to examine the comparison of an eccentric exercise effect on some inflammatory responses between athletes and non-athletes male students. Twelve athlete (age 17.58±0.51 y, weight 71.17±7.88 kg, height 1.79±0.1 m, BMI 22.32±2.6, FAT% 12.54±2.95) and twelve non athletes (age 17.42±0.51 yrs, weight 60.08±7.32 kg, height1.74±0.05 m, BMI 19.73±2.36, FAT% 11.4±2.98). Male students were participated in exercise program performed 50 maximal eccentric actions of the elbow flexor muscles of the non-dominant arm. Blood samples were taken in 3 phase (before, 0.5 and 24 h after exercise) and were analyzed for determination of damage and some inflammatory responses(C- reactive Protein (CRP), C3 and C4 Complement). Data were analyzed by SPSS (13) and Excel 2007 software.

results have shown that strength eccentric training induces significant increase in serum CRP, C3 and C4 in athlete and non athlete male students. It appear that one strength eccentric training in athletes and non-athletes male students can be induced damage and stressor factor of immune system in young students. Therefore this programs just use for young people with caution.
