Appraisal of the physiological cost of soccer match based on changes in selected blood indices and perceived fatigue after the effort
Journal Title: Complementary & Alternative Medicine in Science - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Background. The aim of the study was to examine post soccer match temporary and transient changes in biochemical blood status and rate of its normalization during recovery in the order to estimation of physiological cost of the effort. Material and methods. The study comprised 17 players engaged in a friendly soccer match against the foreign team. The coach wanted to examine the level of technical skills, endurance, and cooperative abilities each of the selected player, and blood biochemical responses to the match based on cortisol (C), testosterone (T), T/C ratio, creatine kinase (CK), glucose (Glu) and urea (U) assessments in capillary blood sampled at three time points: a day prior to the day of game, i.e. -32h prior the match, and subsequently at +12h and +32h after its. Results. The biochemical status was not depended on the plying position of the players. Mean post match (+12h) CK -519 U/L) and U -6.6 mmol/L were somewhat higher compared to those at baseline:359 U/L and 5.9 mmol/L, and showed tends to their normalization at +32h. Mean Glu significa ntly dropped after the match (from 5.6 to 5.1 mmol/L) and did not fully return to the baseline value after 32h recovery. Mean C and T at +32h were practically unchanged, but T/C ratio was higher from pre and post match values. Conclusions. Lowered post match Glu and its lack of full normalization over 32h recovery and it is main symptom of the physiological cost of the effort. During competitive season soccer played have to apply more carbohydrate-enriched diet.
