Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of a single bout of upper body WAnT on hemorheology (erythrocyte deformability, aggregation) and total oxidant/antioxidant status (TOS/TAS) in untrained individuals. Materials and Methods: Fourteen sedentary healthy men (age 21.86±0.55 years) performed upper body 30 s Wingate Test. Blood was collected before and following the exercise. Hemorheological parameters were determined by an ektacytometer. TOS/TAS were measured using a commercial kit and blood lactate concentration was determined by a lactate analyzer. Results: One session of upper body WAnT has acute effects on circulation by reducing red blood cell (RBC) deformability and increasing erythrocyte aggregation, lactate concentration and TOS in sedentary individuals. Conclusion: Altered hemorheological parameters may be explained by the oxidative stress enhancing effect of exercise.
