Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the potential effects of acute soccer matches performed in morning, afternoon and at night on both nesfatin-1 and irisin levels in trained subjects. Total of 20 male subjects performed in soccer matches at three different times of day: morning, afternoon, and night. Pre- and post-match venous blood samples were taken, and levels of both nesfatin-1 and irisin were analysed using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Following all matches, the subjects' irisin levels increased significantly in all subjects (p < 0.0001). Nesfatin-1 levels were also increased after the matches; however, the increase was statistically significant for morning (P=0.01) and night-time (p=0.009). The subjects' nesfatin-1 levels did not increase in all subjects and decrease of nesfatin-1 levels observed in some subjects after matches. This study finds that soccer matches performed different workout times have strong stimulatory effects on irisin levels in all subjects but nesfatin-1 response varied among the subjects and it did not change significantly in afternoon match.

Highlights

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing has widely used procedure in clinical medicine and sports science because of its beneficial role on decision making process in subjects metabolic fitness status

Summary

Introduction

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing has widely used procedure in clinical medicine and sports science because of its beneficial role on decision making process in subjects metabolic fitness status. Body metabolic system is critically depended on the balance between energy intakes to consumption, called as metabolic homeostasis. The important preventative effects of regular physical activity on impairments of body metabolic system have been well established. The increased physical activity may have an important effect on release of miyokines and adipokine hormones [1]. It has been shown that nesfatin-1 is an anorectic peptide derived from the posttranslational processing of the nucleobindin 2 genes, and it is involved in energy homeostasis, metabolic regulation and feeding behaviour [2,3,4]. An important hormone secreted by myocytes and adipocytes, has been proposed to regulate several physiological and metabolic processes, including metabolic control [5, 6]
