The effects of acute high intensity interval exercise of judo on blood rheology factors
Abstract
Hemorheology is a branch of biology, the science of deformation and blood flow against force and the pressures being on it. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of acute high intensity interval exercise of judo (SJFT) on blood rheology response factors in trained judokas. For this, 12 judoka with at least two years of regular training voluntarily participated in this study. All subjects performed Special judo fitness test (SJFT) and blood samples collected before, immediately after and a half hours after the test. The results showed that plasma volume and red blood cell count was significantly decreased immediately after exercise (p<0.05), and the number of white blood cells, platelets and hematocrit were significantly increased after protocol (p <0.05). But all variables fall to primary level half an hour after protocol except white blood cells. The current study showed that the interval intense activity of judo can make an effective response in blood rheology; these changes are transient and probably due to reduced plasma volume and after recovering from exercise returns to baseline level.Hemorheology is a branch of biology, the science of deformation and blood flow against force and the pressures being on it.
