Abstract

Kickbox is one of the modern martial sports. The psychophysiological demands of a kickbox competition require that athletes achieve high thresholds in various aspects of physical fitness.The aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate the physiological properties of kickbox athletes and the activity profile properly in order to put forward proposals for training and new scientific research fields. The blood samples, which were taken before and after the maximal training applied to athletes according to the period, were studied. A total of 50 athletes, including 39 male and 11 female amateurs, were included in the study, with an average age of 20.08±6.33 years. All participants were informed about the study and necessary approvals. There was a significant difference between males and females in terms of BMI (Body Mass Index). It was observed that the GSH values of the athletes increased before and after training in both males and females. On the other hand, IL-1B (interleukin) only increased in males (p<0.05). The information obtained shows that the analyses of the before and after training male kickboxers at the amateur level are significantly more different than that of women. Since GSH is an effective tripeptide of antioxidants involved in the detoxification of harmful compounds, its synthesis is very important for metabolism. It can be said that GSH (glutathione) level may increase with normal exercise in daily life and training in athletes. Furthermore, the athletes should be analyzed metabolically well in response to the stress that may be caused by heavy exercise, and the exercise for improving performance should be achieved by detecting biochemical changes.

Highlights

Kickbox is a sport branch in which two athletes compete by an appropriate technique and speed to achieve the most score in accordance with the rules
GSH, TNF-α, IL-1β and Interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels in the serum were examined by the ELISA method to determine the change of the training in the samples
It has been shown that long-term exercise can have a positive effect on the lipid profile by lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels and decreasing LDL-C levels

Summary

Introduction

Kickbox is a sport branch in which two athletes compete by an appropriate technique and speed to achieve the most score in accordance with the rules. Due to the positive effects mentioned above, kickbox is recommended in terms of protecting the health and ensuring physical fitness Besides these positive effects, traumatic injuries and various physiological effects can be seen especially in martial arts, such as kickbox (Ouergui et al, 2013). The effects of different study programs during acute or chronic period on biochemical parameters have become the focus of many researchers (Bond et al, 1991; Karadağ, 2017). These scientific studies provide us with highly important information that is specific to the performed sport. It has been reported that blood parameters influence the type and intensity of the exercise, while exercise affects blood parameters (Çavuşoğlu, 1991)
