Correlation between plasma electrolytes, lipid profiles and blood pressure following aerobic exercise in water and outside water in academic active men

It seems that changes in sodium and potassium balance and lipid profile associated with blood pressure levels.  Aerobic exercise as known as a blood pressure levels modified factors. The aims of this study were to investigate the correlations between plasma sodium and potassium changes, lipid profile and blood pressure following aerobic exercise in academic active men.

In This study, 65 academic active men selected with Purposeful sampling as study subjects. Then all subjects randomly allocated in control and experimental (water and out water training) groups. In pre-test and after aerobic exercise with %70 of maximal heart rate intensity, all lipid variable (HDL, LDL, VLDL, TG, TC), blood pressure and plasma sodium and potassium measured.  To compare difference and correlations one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation used, respectively. 

Correlation between changes in systolic and plasma sodium levels (r=0.86) after an aerobic exercise intervention in water (r=0.88) and outside water (r=0.90) slightly increased. The association of diastolic blood pressure levels with plasma sodium levels (r=0.07) after an intervention in aerobic training in water (r=0.08) and out of water (r=0.11) increased insignificantly. Intervention of aerobic exercise in water and outside water did not have a significant effect on the association of blood pressure with lipid variables (p≥0.05).

Intervention of aerobic exercise in water and outside water has no significant effect on the relationship between systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels with sodium and potassium levels and lipid variables.
