Postprandial lipaemia 10 and 34 hours after playing football: Does playing frequency affect the response?

Abstract

Elevated postprandial triglyceride (TG) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The time window for the last bout beneficial effect on postprandial lipaemia after football play is unknown. The aim of the present study was to examine whether playing affects postprandial TG during 1.5 day of reduced activity. Eighteen males were randomly allocated to perform either 1 (1FOOT; n = 9; age = 33.0 ± 5.0 yrs; body mass index = 24.2 ± 3.6 kg/m 2 ) or 3 (3FOOT) consecutive days of 60-min 5 vs 5 football (n = 9; age = 32.8 ± 5.2 yrs; body mass index = 26.2 ± 4.1 kg/m 2 ) matches across a 5-day study period. They arrived to the laboratory 10 hrs and 34 hrs after the final football session and blood samples were collected at fasted (0 min) and 45, 90, 240 and 360 min post a high fat load meal. There were non significant increase for postprandial TG AUC (9.1%; p = 0.17; 95%CI = -0.43 to 2.0; ES = -0.23) and iAUC (14.2%; p = 0.43; 95%CI = -0.92 to 1.9; ES = -0.24) between 10 and 34 hrs after the 1FOOT. For the 3FOOT, there was a non significant decrease in postprandial TG AUC (-2.7%; p = 0.73; 95%CI = -2.0 to 1.5; ES = 0.05) and iAUC (-17.5%; p = 0.41; 95%ci = -2.5 to 1.1; ES = 0.31) from 10 to 34 hrs, respectively. Performing three consecutive days of football exercise may offer no greater protective effect for postprandial TG before a period of reduced activity, compared to a single session.

Exercise to Lower Postprandial Lipemia: Why, When, What and How

“…Additionally, no difference in PPL one day after the last session was observed between physically active and inactive patients with CVD [125]. Finally, there does not appear to exist an additive effect of previous exercise sessions, performed on consecutive days, to that of the last session [41,67,126]. On the other…”

“…Finally, there does not appear to exist an additive effect of previous exercise sessions, performed on consecutive days, to that of the last session [41,67,126]. On the other hand, two studies that compared the postprandial TAG response to a high-fat meal between inactive adults and physically active adults, who had abstained from exercise for two days, reported lower PPL in the active groups [127,128].…”

Football training as a non-pharmacological treatment of the global aging population—A topical review

“…SSG training also appears to help alleviate the co-morbidity associated with T2DM by improving body composition, inducing favorable effects on the functional and structural characteristics of the cardiac tissue and lowering blood lipids and arterial blood pressure ( Krustrup et al, 2010b ; Schmidt et al, 2013 ; Andersen et al, 2014 ; de Sousa et al, 2014 ; de Sousa et al, 2017 ; Skoradal et al, 2018a ; Paul et al, 2018 ; Milanovic et al, 2019 ; Paul et al, 2019 ). Also, 12–16 weeks of SSG training twice weekly resulted in a considerable rise of >1 kg of lean body mass in pre-diabetics and T2DM patients ( Andersen et al, 2014 ; Skoradal et al, 2018a ) which is crucial because diabetes is associated with a profound loss of muscle mass.…”

Effects of Acute Dietary Polyphenols and Post-Meal Physical Activity on Postprandial Metabolism in Adults with Features of the Metabolic Syndrome

“…These transient and chronic adaptations by skeletal muscle provide mechanistic justification for including physical activity in any lifestyle intervention intended to improve glycemic control. Clinical trials have investigated the effects of acute bouts prior to [44][45][46] and after [47,48] a dietary challenge on PPG, and day-prior physical activity on next-day PPL [49,50]. The strongest evidence for the efficacy of physical activity in blunting PPG is a recent review of clinical trials that had adults with T2D complete exercise ≤ 3 hours after a dietary challenge [51].…”
