evaluation of some biochemical parameters in 23 healthy professional kick-boxers included in the study, before and after exercise
| Analytes | Pre-exercise | Post-exercise-1 | Post-exercise 2 | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IMA (pg/ml) | 12.00 ± 6.47 | 20.95 ± 8.23 | 19.70 ± 7.74 | <0.001 |
| BNP (pg/ml) | 6.52 ± 1.63 | 8.34 ± 1.86 | 7.84 ± 1.75 | <0.001 |
| Copeptin (pg/ml) | 3.81 ± 1.27 | 50.40 ± 33.74 | 47.38 ± 31.71 | <0.001 |
| Creatinine(mg/dl) | 0.96 ± 0.14 | 1.11 ± 0.15 | 1.04 ± 0.14 | <0.001 |
| EGFR | 97.20 ± 27.74 | 81.94 ± 23.44 | 77.02 ± 22.03 | <0.001 |
| ACTH (pg/mL) | 17.66 ± 7.97 | 52.58 ± 38.51 | 49.42 ± 36.20 | <0.001 |
| Cortisol (pg/ml) | 10.48 ± 2.86 | 11.10 ± 2.87 | 10.43 ± 2.70 | 0.075 |
(Results are shown as mean ± SD; BMI: Body mass index, IMA: ischemia-modified albumin, BNP: brain-type natriuretic peptide, EGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate, ACTH: adrenocorticotropic hormone, Post-exercise 1: measured post-exercise values, Post-exercise 2: adjusted post-exercise values according to the plasma volume changes, p value: significance value for comparison of pre-exercise vs post-exercise-2 (paired samples t-test).
