Abstract

ÖZET

 Amaç: Düşük yoğunluklu egzersiz sırasında substrat oksidasyonundaki metabolik değişimleri değerlendirmeyi ve sağlıklı erkek deneklerde yağ ve karbonhidrat yakımlarının enerji üretimine katkısını analiz etmeyi amaçladık.

Materyal ve Metod: Bu çalışmaya toplam 12 sağlıklı erkek katıldı. Her denek başlangıçta maksimum egzersiz testi gerçekleştirdi. Daha sonra her denek 30 dakikalık bir süre boyunca maksimum egzersiz kapasitesinin %40-45'inde sabit bir yük egzersizi yaptı. Egzersiz sırasında deneklerin yağ ve karbonhidrat oksidasyonu, solunum gazı değişim formülü için standart stokiyometrik denklemler kullanılarak hesaplandı.

Bulgular: Solunum katsayısı (RQ) test sonunda 0.93±0.001'den 0.92±0.001'e önemli ölçüde azaldı. Test sonunda yağ oksidasyonunda 1.512±0.04 gr'dan 1.958±0.03 gr'a anlamlı bir artış (%29) vardı (p<0.05), ancak karbonhidrat oksidasyonunda 6.935±0.06 gr'dan 6.608±0.04 gr'a (p<0.05) önemli bir düşüş (-%4.7).

Sonuç: Artan yağ oksidasyonu, obezite hastalarında düşük ve orta şiddette egzersiz yoğunluğunun önemli bir yol olarak kullanılabileceğini gösterebilir.

ABSTRACT

 Aim: We intended to evaluate metabolic shifts in substrate oxidation during low intensity exercise and analyse the contribution of fat and carbohydrate oxidations to energy production in healthy male subjects.  

 Material and Method: Total of 12 healthy male participated to this study. Each subjects initially performed maximal exercise test. Then each subjects performed a constant load exercise at their 40-45% of maximal exercise capacity for a period of 30 min. During exercise, the subjects’ fat and carbohydrate oxidation was calculated using standard stoichiometric equations for respiratory gas exchange formula.

Results: Respiratory Quotient (RQ) decreased significantly in from 0.93±0.001 to 0.92±0.001 at the end of test. There was a significant increase (29%) in fat oxidation from 1.512±0.04 gr to 1.958±0.03 gr at the end of the test (p<0.05) but significant decrease in carbohydrate oxidation (-4.7%) from 6.935±0.06 gr to 6.608±0.04 gr at the end of the test (p<0.05).

Conclussion: In conclusion, increasing amount of fat oxidation may indicate that the low to moderate exercise intensity can be used as an important way in patients with obesity.
