Abstract :

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of carbohydrate and carbohydrate-glutamine supplementation after High intensity interval exercise on interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 plasma levels of young.Methods: Eight young and healthy wrestlers volunteered to participate in this cross-sectional study. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups of carbohydrates (CHO) and carbohydrate-glutamine (GLU+CHO) with a blinded two-way model. After the first blood collection, the subjects performed a period of intense periodic activity. Immediately after the second blood transfusion activity, the subjects performed 3 hours of inactive recovery with carbohydrate intake (1.2 g per kg body weight per hour in solution 15%) or carbohydrate-glutamine (respectively 0.1% Grams per kilogram of body weight in a solution of 15%). 3 and 24 hours after the activity again blood sampling was performed. After a two-week recycling period, the steps were repeated again by substitution of the subjects, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 of blood plasma were measured by enzymatic method.Results: The results of two-way measurements with repeated measurements indicated significant changes intra-group (time effect) in blood glucose levels interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 at resting stages, immediately, 3 and 24 hours later activity(P≤0.05); however, there was no significant difference in between groups (group effect) between two groups of supplementation (P> 0.05). Conclusion: High intensity interval exercises have resulted in a significant increase in levels of IL-6 and IL-8 immediately and 3 hours after the activity in relation to the resting time in young wrestlers, although no significant difference was observed in adding glutamine to carbohydrates.
