Changes in urinary response in the soccer practice

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical parameters and urinary sediment changes before and after a soccer game. Seventeen players were selected from a selective universitary men's soccer team (age 21,8 ± 1,38 years, weight 73,2 ± 11,8 kg, height 1,71 ± 0,07 m and BMI 24,7 ± 2.3 kg/m2). Chemical parameters of the urine (specific gravity, pH, leukocytes, nitrite, proteins, glucose, bodies ketones, urobilinogene, bilirubin and erythrocytes) and sediment (leukocytes, erythrocytes, crystals, epithelial cells, bacteria, casts, and mucine filaments) were determined. We found a significant increase of specific gravity before and after of competition (1,019 ± 0.005 vs 1,025 ± 0.004; p= 0,0001), pH (6,0 ± 0,91 vs 5,35 ± 0,60; p= 0,008) urinary and in presence of bilirubin (0% vs 41,2%; p= 0,01). In urinary sediment was found a significant rise in the presence of casts (0% vs 29,4%; p= 0,04) and mucin filaments (11,7% vs 64,7% p= 0,004). Although some changes were found in urinary parameters, these chances may have been influenced by an increase in renal reabsortion of water. Key words: Soccer, urinary parameters, bilirubin, mucin, casts
