Purpose: To investigate the influence of the WAnT on blood pressure, lactate, and NTproBNP in trained Wrestlers and untrained young males.Methods: 20 males (n=20), ages 18-25 underwent the WAnT. The study included 2 groups. Group 1 included 10 untrained individuals, and group 2 included 10 wrestlers. NTproBNP (ng/mL), lactate (mmol/ L), and blood pressure (mmHg) were measured at rest, immediate-post, two minutes post, and ten minutes post. The mechanical outputs (W) calculated for each subject. NTproBNP was analyzed utilizing ELIZA.Results: The wrestler's resting NTproBNP levels were higher (35.5 ± 7.59 vs. 35.15 ± 4.82 accordingly), with non-significant differences between the groups. Immediate Post NTproBNP was higher for wrestlers (40.25 ± 14.08 vs. 37.33 ± 9.94) with a positive and strong correlation between PP and IP NTproBNP (r = 0.85). While the untrained had a substantially higher post 10 NTproBNP (45.07 ± 11.75 vs. 32 ± 5.57), both group's NTproBNP was elevated post 10 minutes with a significant difference from post 2 minutes values (p=0.035). PP was significantly higher for the wrestlers (1031.6 ± 188.65 vs. 960.91 ± 189.01). No significant differences were found between groups for RPP and RMP.
Conclusions:NTproBNP values were within the ranges reported in the literature. The WAnT did not put any of the subjects at risk due to cardiac stress. The recovery dynamics regarding NTproBNP were different between groups. Wrestlers recovered rapidly with a slight elevation 10 minutes post-test, while the untrained recovered slowly with a significant elevation of NTproBNP 10 minutes post-test.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
