Effects of Two Kinds of Treadmill Exercise on Inflammatory Mediators in 18-30 Year Old Males / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To compare the effects of short- term high- intensity interval training (HIT) and moderate continuous training (MCT) on inflammatory mediators for healthy young males. Methods 19 healthy young male volunteers were randomized into HIT group (n=6), MCT group (n=7) and no training control (CON, n=6) group. The groups of HIT and MCT accepted treadmill exercise once per 2 days to 6 times (2 weeks), and the CON group did not accepted treadmill exercise. The levels of high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin (IL) -1α, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were detected 3 days before exercise, immediately after the first exercise, 3 days after the course. Results There was no difference among groups in the level of hs-CRP, IL-1α, IL-6 and TNF-α in all the time (P>0.05). The concentration of IL-1α increased in the MCT group after the first exercise (P<0.01), and also the concentration of IL-6 in the CON group after the course (P<0.05). Conclusion It needs further srudy for the significance of HIT and MCT in the levels of inflammatory media.
