Relationships between training burnout, body mass index, plasma glucose and blood lipids of soldiers / 军事医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationships between training burnout , body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose ( FPG) and blood lipids of soldiers .Methods A total of 140 soldiers stationed in Xinjiang who had received intensive behavioral stress training before entering the plateau ( referred to as the "great intensity training") were studied by the integrated method of a questionnaire survey with test in situ .The questionnaire was a self-compiled soldiers′training burnout questionnaire ,in which BMI , FPG, and blood lipids were the observation indices .The relationships between the indices and training burnout were analyzed by linear regression analysis .Results The total score of training burnout and scores of training alienation among soldiers were significantly increased after high intensity training (P<0.01).While the values of FPG, TC, TG and BMI among soldiers were significantly decreased after high intensity training (P<0.05, P<0.01).After high intensity training, the total scores of training burnout and score of training alienation among overweight soldiers were significantly compared to higher than those who had normal BMI (P<0.05, P<0.01).After high intensity training, the total score of training burnout and scores of physical and mental exhaustion and training alienation among soldiers that had high levels of FPG were significantly increased those who had low levels of FPG (P<0.01).And the total score of training burnout and scores of physical and mental exhaustion and training alienation among soldiers that had high levels of cholesterol were significantly higher than those of soldiers who had low levels of cholesterol (P<0.01).Regres-sion analysis showed that there was a linear regression relationship between physical and mental exhaustion , training aliena-tion on one hand, and BMI, FPG, total cholesterol (TC),and triglycerides (TG) on the other hand among soldiers before and after intensive training (P<0.05, P<0.01).Conclusion Physical and mental exhaustion are important influencing factors of FPG and TC, while training alienation is an important influencing factor of TC and TG .
