Abstract

14 healthy male athletes, who were given tomato juice (TJ) supplements with aerobic exercise, had an average age of 20.21 ± 2.08 years, had a mean BMI of 20.98 ± 2.61, and exercised an average of 2.50 ± 1.83 years in color branches, were formed and their TSH, testosterone and insulin levels were analyzed. The data was analyzed with the SPSS package program and the tests used to compare the averages between the groups to reveal the difference before and after the exercises for 42 days. The compliance of the data to normal distribution was examined using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Those with normal distribution among the data were analyzed with the Dependent T test and those that did not show normal distribution were analyzed with the Wilcoxon test. Statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05. When the TSH levels of aerobic exercise and TJ supplementation were examined, it was found that there was not an increase between the control and TJ+exercise groups (p>0.05), however, there was an increase between control and aerobic exercise groups (p<0.05). When testosterone levels were examined, it was found that there was an increase between the control and TJ + Exercise groups (p<0.01), an increase between control and exercise (p<0.05), and a significant increase between TJ + exercise and exercise groups (p<0.001). When the insulin levels were examined, it was found statistically that there was an increase in TJ + Exercise and exercise groups compared to the control screen (p<0.001). As a result, aerobic exercise applications results in an increase in TSH, total testosterone and insulin levels in athletes. It is determined that TJ + exercise supplementation does not affect TSH levels but it increases total testosterone and insulin levels of athletes.

SPORCULARDA DOMATES SUYU TAKVİYESİNİN TSH, TESTOSTERON VE İNSÜLİN DÜZEYLERİNE ETKİLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Aerobik egzersiz yaptırılan, domates suyu (DS) takviyesi verilen, yaş ortalaması 20.21± 2.08 yıl olan, BKİ ortalamaları 20.98±2.61 olan, değişik branşlarda ortalama 2.50±1.83 yıl spor yapan, sağlıklı 14 erkek sporcu oluşturularak, TSH, testosteron ve insülin düzeylerine etkileri incelendi. Veriler, 42 günlük egzersiz öncesi ve egzersizler sonrasında farklılıkları ortaya koymak için SPSS paket programı yardımı ile bağımlı gruplar arası ortalamaların karşılaştırılması için kullanılan testler ile analiz edildi. Verilerin normal dağılıma uygunluğu Shapiro-Wilk testi ile incelendi. Verilerden normal dağılım gösterenler Bağımlı T testi ile, normal dağılım göstermeyenler ise Wilcoxon testi ile analiz edildi. İstatistiksel anlamlılık p<0.05 olarak kabul edildi. Aerobik egzersiz yaptırılan ve DS takviyesinin TSH düzeylerine bakıldığında kontrol ve DS+Egzersiz grupları arasında farkın olmadığı (p>0.05), ancak kontrol ve egzersiz grupları arasında artış olduğu tespit edildi (p<0.05). Testosteron düzeylerine bakıldığında kontrol ve DS+Egzersiz grupları arasında artış olduğu (p<0.01), kontrol ve egzersiz grupları arasında artış olduğu (p<0.05), DS+Egzersiz ve egzersiz gruplar arasında ise önemli artışın olduğu tespit edildi (p<0.001). İnsülin düzeylerine bakıldığında, kontrol grubuna göre, DS+Egzersiz ve egzersiz grupları arsında artış olduğu istatiksel olarak tespit edildi (p<0.001). Sonuç olarak, aerobik egzersiz uygulamaları, sporcularda TSH, total testosteron ve insülin düzeylerini arttırarak etkisini göstermiştir. DS+egzersiz takviyesinin sporcularda TSH düzeyini etkilemediği, total testosteron ve insülin düzeylerini arttırdığı tespit edilmiştir.
