The effect of eight week continuous and intermittent resistance training on proteinuria in active young men

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was comparison of acute and chronic effects of the two types of continuous and intermittent resistance trainings on relaxation and in response to sport proteinuria, in active young men. Thereby, 21 males of this research were randomly divided to three continuous training, intermittent training and control groups. The two training groups participated in 8 weeks progressive trainings. Before, immediately then and 1 hr after first test (48 hrs before trainings beginning) and final one (48 hrs after trainings ending), urinary samples were taken from the subjects. Variance analysis test with repeated measurements was used, to investigate variations of the under study variables in both continuous and intermittent training groups. Results indicated that the 8 weeks resistance trainings (both continuous and intermittent) would cause increases in both glomerular and tubular proteinuria, in active young men. In the other hand, there wasn’t observed any significant difference in increments of urinary proteins excretions, comparing between the continuous and intermittent resistance trainings. Though, urinary protein to creatinine didn’t show any significant change of relaxation and in response to sport values, in both continuous and intermittent groups, after 8 weeks trainings. It appears, although resistance trainings, either continuous or intermittent type, would cause increments of pressure on kidneys and urinary excretions of proteins, but their thereafter proteinuria probably couldn’t be a limiting factor of the activity and it’s different from the pathologic conditions. However, annual physical examinations are necessary.
