Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of aerobic training on oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin.Experimental group (DG) of 11 healthy male athletes who were 12-14 years old and who engaged in regular training and a control group (KG) of 11 healthy male sedanters who were 12-14 years old participated voluntarily in the study. Aerobic training was applied to both groups for 8 weeks and 3 days per week. Descriptive parameters are age, height, weight, body mass index and resting heart rate. Measurements of oxygen saturation were made for 10 minutes with pulse oximeter (Spirolab III, Medical International Research) and applied twice (1 week before (T1) and after (T2) of 8 weeks period). Obtained data were analyzed by SPSS for Windows 16.0. Kolmogrov-Smirnov test was used for normal distribution, Levene test was used for homogeneity, paired Samples T Test was used for analysis among the groups, Independent Samples T Test was used for analysis between the groups.Gaziantep Universitesi Beden Egitimi ve Spor Yuksekokulu/Gaziantep (Yazismadan sorumlu yazar) E-mail:ozdalm@hotmail.comGaziantep Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, Fizyoloji ABD, GaziantepDG T1 values are %97.23±0.93, T2 values are %97.85±0.88. KG, T1 values are %96.58±0.89, T2 values are %96.96±0.64. Significance (p<0.05) was found between T1 and T2 of DG (p:0.032, t:-2.486) and of KG (p:0.044, t:-2.306). No significance was found between groups (p:0,426, t:-0,813).As a result, it was found that aerobic training had a booster effect on SpO2 of both athletes and sedanters. Thus, it can be said that aerobic training has positive effects on oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin.
