Introduction: Complex Training (CT) has been used to achieve Post-activation Potentiation (PAP) of physical capabilities and, in doing so, improve the sports performance of athletes. However, few studies have considered alterations in serum Cortisol, Metabolic Creatine Kinase (MB-CK), Total Creatine Kinase (Total-CK), and Lactate concentrations ([La]) resulting from this training method. Objective: This study determined the behavior of the following blood serum substances in a CT session: Cortisol, MB-CK, Total CK and [La]. Method: Ten military athlete volunteers aged 28.5 ± 4.8 years; 66.2 ± 2.8 kg, 171.4 ± 3.7 cm, 22.6 ± 1.2 kg/m2; 11.3 ± 2.9% of fat tissue took part in the study. The study had a quasi-experimental, intrasubject design. The variable measurements were: Cortisol, MB-CK, Total-CK, and [La], measured before physical exercise and 24 hours post-stress. The CT session consisted of: four series of five repetitions at 30% of 1RM, plus four repetitions at 60% of 1RM, plus three throws of a 575 g projectile, 15 seconds apart. The statistical analysis was carried out through repeated measure ANOVA for Lactate and a Wilcoxon Matched Pairs t-Test for Cortisol, MB-CK and Total-CK. Results: There was no evidence of alterations in the indicators for fatigue ([La] p = 0.36), and muscular injury (Cortisol p = 0.16; MB-CK p = 0.23; Total-CK p = 0.64) after the training sessions. Conclusion: Variables for muscular injury showed no evidence of alterations 24 hours after the CT sessions, hence confirming that the workload did not generate significant post-stress muscular injury. Level of Evidence I; Therapeutic Study: Investigating Treatment Results.

Behavior of cortisol, ck and lactate in a session of variable resistance

Introduction Resistance exercises (RE) performed at high intensity cause an inflammatory response and electrolyte abnormalities in blood plasma. Objectives To study the plasma electrolyte changes resulting from a high-intensity session of RE in untrained volunteers, and to correlate these with delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Methods Twenty volunteers, aged 26.9 (±4.4) years, underwent an RE session. The workout (leg extension, squat and leg press) consisted of four sets of 10 maximum repetitions. Electrolytes (Na+, K+, Ca2+ e Mg2+) were evaluated before the training (baseline), immediately (0 min), and 30 minutes after the RE. The DOMS was assessed 24 hours after the sessions. Results The Na+ increased immediately after the RE and returned to normal after 30 min (p<0.001). After 30 min, K+ increased compared to baseline levels and immediately after the RE (p<0.001). Ca2+ and Mg2+ levels did not change throughout the study. Changes in Na+ and K+ levels were correlated immediately (r=-0.511; p=0.021) and 30 min (r=-0.455; p=0.049) after RE. Plasma concentrations of Na+ 0 min were correlated (r=-0.520; p=0.018) with the DOMS. Conclusion High-intensity RE in untrained volunteers leads to changes in plasma concentrations of Na+ and K+. Na+ concentrations immediately after RE were related to DOMS; individuals that presented smaller alterations in this electrolyte reported more muscular pain. Level of evidence II; Diagnostic Studies - Development of diagnostic criteria on consecutive patients (with universally applied reference “gold” standard).

Alterações eletrolíticas relacionadas à dor muscular após exercícios resistidos

INTRODUCAO: Muitos trabalhos tem estudado o comportamento hormonal nos exercicio resistido, entretanto poucos relacionam os hormonios cortisol, GH e insulina. OBJETIVO: Estudar os ajustes das concentracoes plasmaticas dos hormonios cortisol, GH e insulina em exercicios resistidos de mesma intensidade com relacao a massas musculares distintas. METODOS: Dez voluntarios, com 20,3 ± 4,2 anos, 74,1 ± 10,2 kg de peso, 177,2 ± 4,6 cm de estatura e 23,8 ± 3,2 kg/m2 de IMC, realizaram uma sessao de leg press (LP) e supino reto (SR) com quatro series com 10 repeticoes a 70% 1 RM com tres minutos de intervalo. Foram coletadas amostras de sangue para dosagem das concentracoes plasmaticas de cortisol, GH e insulina em repouso (Pre) e em 0' (Rec. 0'), 30' (Rec. 30') e 90' (Rec. 90') de recuperacao. RESULTADOS: As concentracoes plasmaticas de cortisol foram significativamente reduzidas ao final da recuperacao em LP (2,20±0,37 ng/dl para 1,33±0,38ng/dl) em relacao a pre-dosagem. As concentracoes de GH e insulina elevaram-se significativamente durante a recuperacao. GH em LP foi significativamente maior em Rec. 0' (2,75±3,29 ng/ml para 9,60±5,32 ng/dl) do que em pre. A insulina elevou-se significativamente em Rec. 30' em LP (14,70±7,92 ulU/ml para 21,66 ± 8,61 ulU/ml) e em SR (6,17 ± 2,99 ulU/ml para 19,70 ± 13,8 ulU/ml) em relacao a pre. As concentracoes plasmaticas de insulina pre em LP foram significativamente superiores a SR (14,70 ulU/ml e 6,17 ± 2,99 ulU/ml). CONCLUSAO: O exercicio resistido promoveu diferentes ajustes nas concentracoes hormonais de cortisol, GH e insulina durante o periodo de recuperacao.

Estudo do comportamento cortisol, gh e insulina apos uma sessao de exercicio resistido agudo

Introduction: Many works have studied the hormonal behavior in resistance exercise, however, few relate the cortisol, GH and insulin hormones. Objective: To study the adjustments of plasma concentrations of the cortisol, GH and insulin hormones in resisted exercises of the same relative intensity with different muscle musses. Meth-ods: Ten volunteers, aged 20.3 ± 4.2 years, weight 74.1 ± 10.2 Kg, 177.2 ± 4.6 cm of stature and 23.8 ± 3.2 Kg/m 2 of BMI, underwent a session of leg press (LP) and bench press (BP) with four sets of 10 repetitions at 70% 1 RM with three minutes apart. We collected blood samples to measure plasma concentrations of cortisol, GH and insulin at rest (Pre) and 0’ (Rec. 0’), 30’ (Rec. 30’) and 90’ (Rec. 90’) of recovery. Results: Plasma concentrations of cortisol decreased significantly at the end of the recovery in LP (2.20 ± 0.37 ng/dl to 1.33 ± 0.38 ng/dl) compared to pre. The GH and insulin concentrations significantly increased during recovery. GH was significantly higher in LP Rec. 0’ (2.75 ± 3.29 ng/ml to 9.60 ± 5.32 ng/dl) than in pre. Insulin was significantly elevated in Rec. 30’ in LP(14.70 ± 7.92 ulU/ml to 21.66 ± 8.61 ulU/ml) and BP (6.17 ± 2.99 ulU/ml to 19.70 ± 13.8 ulU/ml) for pre. The plasma insulin concentrations pre PL were significantly higher in the BP (14.70 ulU/ml and 6.17 ± 2.99 ulU/ml). Conclusion: Resisted exercise promoted different adjustments in hormone concentrations of cortisol, GH and insulin during the recovery period.Keywords: physical exercise, hydrocortisone, growth hormone, insulin.
