Purpose:
The aim of our study was to investigate the factors related to change in blood
lactate level after exercise in young healthy male smokers. Material and
Method: Fourteen voluntary male smokers (mean age=21.29±8.10 year, cigarette
smoking intensity=4.94±3.50 packXyear) were included in the study. The
demographic features of the participants were recorded. Squat endurance and
quadriceps muscle strength (J-tech dynamometer) were measured. The level of
physical activity was questioned using the "International Physical
Activity Questionnaire-Short Form". Lactate levels (Accutrend® Plus) were
determined with blood samples taken before and after "High-Intensity
Interval Training" lasting 20 minutes with 75-85% of maximum heart rate.
The data were analyzed with the SPSS 21.0 statistical program. Relations
between variables were evaluated by Spearman correlation analysis. The level of
significance was determined as p <0.05. Results: At the end of the training,
when the relationship between the amount of change in blood lactate level with
smoking intensity, physical activity level, quadriceps muscle strength and
squat endurance is examined; it was found to be negatively correlated (p=0.042,
r=-0.548) only with squat endurance. Conclusion: According to the results of
our study, the increase in fatigue after high-intensity interval training in
healthy young men who smoked was associated with endurance but not with the
intensity of the person's smoking, physical activity level, and muscle
strength. Further studies are needed in which fatigue markers examined in a
large population after different intensity training sessions.
