Investigation of Acute Effects of Eight-Week Core Exercise on Inflammatory Biomarkers: A Study on Amputee Football Players
Journal Title: Hippocrates Medical Journal - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective It is known that exercise has positive effects on inflammatory biomarkers. However, the results on the effect of specific exercises such as core exercises on inflammatory markers are limited. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the acute effects of core exercise on inflammatory biomarkers interleukin 6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin. Materials and Methods In this study, the experimental method, one of the quantitative data collection methods, was used. The research sample consists of 11 elite amputee football players aged between 19-36. Participants were randomly divided into two groups as core exercise group (EG) and control group (KG). At week 0 of the study, blood samples of the participants were taken before and after the aerobic exercise (AY). The same procedure was repeated after an 8-week (3 days a week) exercise program. Within the scope of blood measurements, IL-6, CRP and albumin values were checked. SPSS package program 25 was used for the statistical processes of the research. As a result of the normality analysis of the data, it was determined that the data were not normally distributed and the Wilcoxon Test, one of the non-parametric tests, was applied. The level of significance in the study was determined as p=0.05. Results According to the results of the study, a significant difference was found between the levels of p=0.043 and p=0.028 between acute IL-6 levels before and after the 0th and 8th weeks of EG, respectively. A significant difference was found between the levels of acute albumin before and after the 0th and 8th weeks of AR at the level of p=0.041 before the AR. Acute CRP levels did not change before and after 0th and 8th weeks (p>0.05). A significant difference was found between the levels of p=0.043 and p=0.043 between acute IL-6 levels before and after the 0th and 8th weeks of CG, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found between the albumin and CRP levels of KG. Conclusion Core exercise had a positive effect on IL-6 and albumin levels in amputee football players. For this reason, it is recommended to include core exercises in the routine football training program of amputee football players.
