The comparison of aerobic training on blood gases in athlete and non-athlete high school girls

Abstract

The aim of present study was to investigate comparison of aerobic training on blood gases. Thirty six non athlete and sixteen athlete high school girls (age 14-17, weight 48-55, height 159-166) were randomly located into three groups. Group1: Control group and non-athlete without aerobic training (n=16), Group2: non-athlete with aerobic training (n=16) and Group3: athlete with aerobic training (n=16). Gruop2,3 participated in an 8-weeks aerobic training at the pulse rate of 65%-75% of Max Heart Rate and control group was asked to maintain their activity and eating habits during the investigation period. To determine rate of blood gases (PO2, PCO2, PH, and HCO3-) changes, of all subjects were measured via blood sampling. In pre-Test and immediately after last aerobic training session, all blood samples were analyzed via Laboratory Gas Analyzer. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistic and T-test at the significant level of P<0.05 and following results were concluded: blood gasses such as PO2,PCO2,PH except HCO3- were changed after last session in group 2,3 but there were significant differences in PH,PCO2,PO2 between second and third groups that it was not seen in HCO3-.
