    Objective: It is known that high-intensity exercises lead to muscle damage and fibrosis. This study aims to compare some plasma inflammation markers in elite master athletes, recreational athletes and sedentary males to determine muscle injury. Material and Methods: 60 healthy male participants (min-max 45-65 years) were divided into 3 groups: Elite master athletes performing high intensity training (EMAG; n=22), recreational athletes performing moderate intensity training (RG; n=21) and sedentary controls (CG; n=17). Resting serum levels of the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP), Tumor Necrosis Factor Alfa (TNF-α), Transforming Growth Factor Beta-1 (TGF-β-1), and Klotho hormone were compared among the groups. Results: Body weight, fat percentages, body mass index were lower and MaxVO2 was higher in EMAG than those of both RG and CG. TGF-β-1 and Klotho Hormone levels of EMAG and RG were higher than CG. Vitamin D levels of EMAG were found higher than those of CG. Conclusion: Regular long-term endurance training has a long-term positive impact on the regeneration of muscle damage and inflammation. The high levels of Klotho hormone determined in EMAG provides a longer and healthier life by extending the initiation process of many illnesses including metabolic diseases. © 2019 by Türkiye Klinikleri.

    The effects of various strength training intensities on blood cardiovascular risk markers in healthy men; [Sağlıklı erkeklerde farklı kuvvet egzersizi yoğunluklarının kan kardiyovasküler risk belirteçleri üzerindeki etkileri]

    Objectives: Regular physical exercise, especially aerobic exercise, is known to have a protective effect on cardiovascular health. The aim of this research is to look at the impact of two separate resistance training programs on blood biomarkers that are associated with the early detection of cardiac risk. Methods: Forty-five male participants (mean 41 years) were randomly divided into three groups: The low-intensity resistance exercise group (LIEG), the moderate-intensity resistance exercise group (MIEG), and the control group (CG). The programs were implemented three times a week and in two sets. MIEG consisted of 8–10 repeats at 70–80% density of one repetition maximum load (1RM), while LIEG consisted of 15–17 repeats at 50–60% density of 1RM. CG did not participate in any exercise program. Two-factor mixed-design ANOVA assessed the data. Results: Before, fourth week, and after the exercise program in repeated measurements, there was a significant decrease in body mass (−1.7%), body mass index (−1.7%), apelin (−44%), and pentraxin 3 (−39%) levels in MIEG (p < 0.05). Additionally, our study noted a decrease in pentraxin 3 (−25%, p < 0.05) and interleukin 6 (−21%) levels, while there was an increase in creatine kinase (18%), and lactate dehydrogenase (7.4%) levels in LIEG. Strength levels improved significantly in exercise groups. Conclusions: Eight weeks of moderate-resistance training can potentially reduce the cardiovascular risk in healthy men. © 2021 Murat Akyüz et al., published by De Gruyter.

    Effects of high-intensity interval training program on pituartry function in basketball players: a randomized controlled trial
    (Frontiers Media SA, 2023) Soslu R.; Uysal A.; Devrilmez M.; Can Çuvalcıoğlu İ.; Doğan A.A.; Karaburgu S.; Taş M.
    The aim of the study was to determine how the short high-interval training program affects cortisol levels in basketball players. A total of 27 male basketball players volunteered for the study and were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Control Group (CG) (n = 13, mean age; 20,56 ± 1,45 years, mean height; 184,53 ± 6,65 cm) and Experimental Group (EG) (n = 14, mean age; 20,71 ± 2,12 years, mean height; 86,51 ± 8,21 cm). The experimental group received a 7-week interval training program. Blood samples were taken at the beginning and end of the study. Cortisol, Adrenocorticotropic Hormone, Triiodothyronine, Tetraiodothyronine, Parathyroid Hormone, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Insulin, and Glucose levels were measured of the EG and CG. To test the differences between groups and compare the effects of pre and post-intervention, a two-way ANOVA for repeated measures was used. Consequently, the post-test levels of TSH, PTH, and ACTH in the exercise group showed a significant difference when compared to the pre-test values (p = 0.000). Moreover, the post-test levels of Glucose, Cholesterol, Triglyceride, HDL, and Mg in the exercise group showed statistical significance when compared to the pre-test values (p = 0.000). Significant differences were seen in the post-test PTH and ACTH levels of the control group when compared to the pre-test values (p = 0.000). Furthermore, the exercise group showed significant differences in post-test values for HDL and Cholesterol compared to the pre-test (p = 0.000). In addition, when comparing the post-test values and pre-test values of both the exercise group and the control group, it was found that all parameters, with the exception of Ca, exhibited substantial differences in favor of the exercise group. It may be claimed that the implementation of interval training has favorable outcomes on pituitary function parameters. Additionally, the regulation of energy consumption during exercise is favourably influenced, along with the reduction of physiological stress resulting from prolonged exercise.
