THE HEALING EFFECT OF FOOTBALL TRAININGS ON LIPID PROFILE AND MUSCLE DAMAGE MARKERS IN 11-13 YEARS OLD BOYS

The aim of this study is to investigate the healing effects of soccer training on lipid profile and muscle injury markers in 11-13 year old boys. A total of 40 volunteer students studying at Van Dumlup？nar Elementary School between the ages of 11 and 13 constitute the sample of the study. The participants had various intensities of football training regularly with an average of 2 hours day and 3 days a week for a period of 8 weeks. The data were obtained at relaxed pre-exercise and post-exercise rest state. While the pre-exercise HDL level was 45.91 ± 12.32, post-exercise HDL level was 52.05 ± 14.04 and a statistically significant result was found (p< 0.01). CK level was 359,50 ± 138.06 when in the resting state before the study and 247,15 ± 119,54 after the study and it was significant (p< 0.01). Again, changes were observed in LDL, cholesterol and LDH levels and a statistically significant result was found (p< 0.01). No significant results were found for the HDL, LDL, cholesterol, CK, LDH parameters of the control group (p>0.05). It is thought that regular football trainings may cause positive changes in children's biochemical parameters and affect health positively
