The Effect of an Exhaustive Exercise and Sodium Bicarbonate Supplementation on LDH, CPK and CPR Indexes in Non-Athlete Women Students

Abstract

This research investigated the impact of an exhaustive exercise with short-term consumption of sodium bicarbonate supplement on LDH, CPK and CRP indexes in non-athlete student women. The participants of this study were 30 non-athlete women volunteers with the age average of 23±2.77 years, weight of 59.75±7.96 Kg, height of 160.63±4.89 Cm and BMI of 23.52±3.15 kg/m2 . Participants were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups and two-direction method was utilized to study them. Both groups participated in an exhaustive aerobic activity. One hour before the experiment, participants in experimental group consumed 0.065 g bicarbonate sodium for each one Kg of their weight and participants in control group had starch as placebo. Blood samples were taken in pre-experimental level, two and 30 minutes after test to measure serum level of CPK, LDH and CPR and the obtained data was analyzed utilizing co-variance ( ANCOVA P<0.05.). The result showed significant increase in CPK and LDH levels in control group but there was no significant change in CPK and LDH levels in experimental group (P<0.05), although, the level of CPR in both control and experimental groups has showed significant difference (P<0.005). Findings show that the consumption of bicarbonate sodium may be effective in reducing CPK and LDH’s levels after athletic activities
