Short-term effect of endurance exercise on plasma proteins levels in Athletic and Non-athletic men

Performance of athletes during competitions it is important in short sessions of exercise which can also be influenced by many factors. Blood concentrations determined by blood components such as proteins level. The aim of this study, the effect of acute exhaustive aerobic exercise on plasma proteins levels in male athlete and non-athlete.

In this study, 12 athletes and 12 non-athletes male voluntarily participated. These two groups performed an aerobic test to the exhaustion on a Monarc bicycle (model E839, made in Sweden). Before, immediately and 24 hours after the sports activity, blood samples were taken from the subjects. After collecting the data, the descriptive statistics method was used to categorize the information and to compare the variables within the group, the repeated measurement statistical method was used, and the independent t-test statistical method was used to compare between groups.

Results showed that the levels of total protein, albumin and plasma globulin in athletes and non-athletes male in before, immediately and 24 hours after exercise were significantly different (P<0.05), also there was significant difference in the levels of plasma creatinine in athletes (P<0.0001), but there was no significant difference in non-athletes male (P=0.15).Discussion and

Considering that the recovery period is particularly important in sports activities, it seems that the recovery period of the present research variables is different. Also, being an athlete or non-athlete causes different results in some variables.
