Abstract

With this study, it is aimed to investigate whether there is an effect on having regular football training, body weight, height and BMI values as well as cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Iron, Calcium, Sodium, Mean Cell Volume (MCV), Hemoglobin (HGB), Mean Hemoglobin Volume (MCV) Mean Cell Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Platelet (PLT), Leukocyte-white blood cell (WBC) and Hematocrit (HCT). A total of 20 volunteer men, aged 25.31 ± 5.28 years, 10 of them playing football and ten Sedentary subjects, were included in the study. The average age of sports players playing football is 7.11 ± 72 years. Participants were taken to a health institution in the morning on an empty stomach and blood samples were taken. In addition, the subjects' height, body weight, and BMI were calculated. In the analysis of the obtained data, t test was used in SPSS 21 package program. At the end of the study, it was seen that there was a difference between body composition and body weight at p <0.05 and body length and BMI at p <0.01 level. In blood parameters, sodium and HTC values were found to be different in p <0.05 and p <0.01 levels in both groups. Other blood parameters were found to be significantly different between the groups (p <0.05).

Highlights

  • Football is a high-end sporting discipline in which both aerobic and anaerobic effort are used interchangeably with motor performance, such as strength, speed, flexibility, agility, cardiovascular and muscular endurance and coordination abilities[1]

  • It was seen that the average height length was 80,11 ± 5,62 cm for football players and 173,10 ± 4,25 cm for sedentary subjects

  • When the subjects participating in the study, body weight, body fat distribution, duration and severity of weight average, football players and sedentary subjects exercise, and weight loss with exercise

Summary

Introduction

Football is a high-end sporting discipline in which both aerobic and anaerobic effort are used interchangeably with motor performance, such as strength, speed, flexibility, agility, cardiovascular and muscular endurance and coordination abilities[1]. Regular training affects lipid metabolism and causes changes in plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels. It is stated that these positive effects of regular training are at different levels according to the type of gymnastics and sportsmen [3]. It has been widely suggested that regular exercise is effective in protecting against coronary risk factors with positive effects on lipid profiles [4,5]. In relation to the type and duration of exercise, researchers have reported conflicting results about the fact that in recent years they have led to beneficial changes in lipid metabolism [6,7]
