SERUM LEVEL COMPARISONS OF C-REACTIVE PROTEIN(HS-CRP) AND URIC ACID IN SOCCER PLAYERS AND NONATHLETES
Journal Title: Biology of Sport - Year 2011, Vol 28, Issue 4
Abstract
In the present study, we compare the plasma concentration of CRP, uric acid and some other markers between soccer players and nonathletes. Also we intended to evaluate blood markers relation with fitness and anthropometric factors.The present cross-sectional study involved professional soccer players (n=40) and nonathletes (n=60) young men (aged 18-22 years).blood markers (CRP, uric acid,creatinin,WBC, total cholestrol), anthropometric factors( height, weight, WHR, BMI, and body fat percentage) and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max)were determined in these subjects. Questionnaires on personal information, disease history, drug use and other related subjects were completed for all the subjects.Mean serum CRP levels were 0.31±0.13 and 0.33±0.18 mg/L for the soccer players and nonathletes, respectively. The difference between soccer players and nonathletes was insignificant (P>0.05). Serum levels of uric acid in soccer players and nonathletes was 5.05± 1.14 and 6.07± 1.34mg/dl, respectively. The difference between soccer players and nonathletes was significant (P<0.05). correlation between uric acid and VO2max was adversely significant(P<0.05). uric acid and CRP were directly significant with BMI (P<0.05).In conclusion, the results of this study indicate, that some simple factors, such as BMI can be good predictor for CVD risk factors in young men.
