Abstract

Objective: The study aims to examine the relationship between thiol-disulfide balance and autonomic nervous system activity in soccer players.
Methods: This study was conducted with 15 male soccer players between the ages of 19-32. ECG measurements were taken from the athletes at rest in the morning after waking up and heart rate variability (HRV) data were analyzed as an indicator of autonomic nervous system activity. Thiol disulfide homeostasis status was determined using a novel automated spectrophotometric analysis method before and after the match. The obtained findings were analyzed by using Pearson correlation and paired t-test.
Results: After the match, an increase was observed in the thiol disulfide (TD) parameters. But there was no statistically significant difference in the TD parameters before and after the match (P> 0.05). It was observed that the correlation between age and TD parameters disappeared after the exercise. No overall relationship was observed between HRV parameters and thiol-disulfide parameters (except for MINRR and AVRR parameters). A strong correlation was observed within the time and frequency-dependent HRV parameters
Conclusion: The current study examines the relationship between thiol-disulfide balance and HRV as a marker of oxidative stress for the first time. In addition, it was observed that mild-moderate exercise does not affect oxidative stress in trained athletes and works independently from the autonomic nervous system. It is considered that SDNN and RMSSD can be used as an important marker in the analysis of the parasympathetic system.
