Abstract :
Purpose: Stress and immune responses due to the increased intensity and duration of exercise tend to be susceptible to vascular disease. The purpose of this study was to compare the active and inactive recovery after a session of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on the response of C-reactive protein (CRP), cortisol and IL-6 (IL6). Methods: The statistical sample of this study was 20 footballers with a mean age of 18.9 ± 0.5 years, weight 1.7 ± 1.7 kg, height 176 cm2.2, body mass index of 22.4 ± 1 kg / m2 and the maximum consumed oxygen was 51.3 ± 2.5 ml / kg body weight, which was randomly selected among the soccer players of Esteghlal'e Novin team in south of Tehran. Subjects were participated in two groups with two tests, active recovery and inactive recovery. Blood samples were collected from both groups before and immediately after recovery then, cortisol, and IL-6 and CRP levels were evaluated using ELISA technique. Results: There was no significant difference between active and inactive recovery after HIIT activity on CRP and IL6 responses. While there was a significant difference between active and inactive recovery after HIIT activity on cortisol response (P <0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that active recovery after HIIT activity could affect cortisol response. Therefore, active recovery would be more effective than passive recovery.
