The Investigate of Effect Eight Weeks of Combined Exercise on P3NP, CAF and IGF-1 on CABG Patients

Abstract

Introduction This study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of combined exercise on P3NP, CAF and some sarcomopia factors in CABG patients. Materials and Methods 24 CABG middle-aged men participated in this study. Then the participants were randomly divided into two groups of 12-person combination exercise (mean age 54.58 ±6.47 years) and control group (mean age 50.70 ±7.70 years). Anthropometric indices and serum P3NP, CAF and IGF-1 blood parameters were prepared and analyzed before and after training. The eight-week combined exercise program was conducted in three sessions with the supervision of cardiac rehabilitation specialists. Repeated measures statistical test was used for data analysis. Results Combined exercise was associated with a significant decrease in serum P3NP levels (p=0.001), but these changes were not significant compared to the control group (p=0.334). But these changes were not significant compared to the control group (p=0.334). There was also a significant increase in serum CAF levels in the post-test compared to the pre-test (p=0.02) and the differences between the control group and the training group were significant (p=0.038). On the other hand, a significant increase in serum IGF-1 levels was observed in the post-test compared to the pre-test (p=0.001), but the serum levels of IGF-1 were not significant in the control group (p=0.280). Conclusion A short-term combination training in CABG patients increased IGF-1 and CAF, but no change in P3NF levels. Further research is needed to investigate the effect of combined exercise on CAGB patients on these indices.
