Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of acute handball training on the irisin, leptin, insulin and blood lipids. 19 male handball players, who are between 15-17, regularly train and play for Turkish Super Young League, have been volunteer for this research. All of the members of this research group are healthy and play handball for at least 3 years. Blood samples have been drawn from players before and after training (30 min. warming, 10 min. stretching and 80 min. handball training). Arithmetic average, standard deviation and frequency distribution techniques have been used for analyzing data as descriptive statistics. A significant change have been detected at total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL, AST, ALT, irisin and leptin parameters but not at VLDL when the pre-test and post-test compared. It has been concluded that the blood lipid levels generally change by the training and acute exercise. However, the glucose level increases and insulin level decreases after exercise. According to results, an increase has been observed at irisin level but a decrease has been observed at leptin level during the exercise. Additionally, irisin and leptin interaction may occur in different ages and metabolisms. It has been suggested that irisin and leptin interactions should be investigated deeper for more comprehensive data.

Summary

Introduction

Bostom and Ark have found a protein in 2012, which could prevent the body from metabolic illnesses and produced by skeleton muscle after exercise. Strong effect of regular exercises on fatty acids and glucose, by dissolving fats from tissues, and the effect of leptin on increasing food intake and energy metabolism has brought up to agenda the investigation of relationship between leptin and exercises [7]. It is well known that the low-density lipoproteins (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglycerides are the most common parameters to detect the change at the level of blood lipids. High LDL cholesterol indicates extreme level of lipids, which increases the risk of cardiovascular complications. This study aims to evaluate the effect of acute exercise on irisin, leptin, insulin and blood lipids of adolescence handball players to investigate the effect of physical activity.
