The effect of exercise mode and intensity on rate and type of Exercise-induced proteinuria in active young males

Document Type : 78

Abstract

Introduction: Exercise induced proteinuria is more related to the intensity and exercise mode than to the duration. Limited studies about the concomitant effect of exercise mode and sub-maximal intensity on the rate of urea protein excretion are available.
Methods: Ten young active males performed the training protocol in three different exercise modes (elliptical, running on treadmill and cycle-ergometer) conducted at two sub-maximal intensities (70% and 80% of maximal heart rate) on separate days. The rate of albumin (Alb), total protein, creatinine, and β2microglubolin (β2-m) excretion prior to and after exercise were measured.
Results: No significant difference on the rate of urine protein excretion was observed following the three exercise models at two different intensities (P≥0.05). Only creatinine following elliptical at intensity of 85% maximal heart rate did show significant difference (P≤0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it is concluded that the different exercise modes at sub-maximal intensities have insignificant effect on the athletic proteinuria and are not stimuli for the effective factors on the athletic proteinuria.
