Emre Karaman2 1 Bartın University, School of Physical Education and Sports, Bartin, Turkey 2 Firat University, Faculty of Sport Sciences, Elaziğ, Turkey Abstract: In the study, it was aimed to investigate the changes in some biochemical parameters (urea, AST, ALT, glucose, creatinine and TSH) of women with acute exercise. 50 women aged 19-48 years participated in the study as volunteers. Urea, AST, ALT, glucose, creatinine and TSH levels were analyzed in blood samples taken before exercise and at the end of an acute exercise session. SPSS package program and Paired Samples t test were used for the comparison of pre and post test results of the obtained data. When the results were evaluated, while there was a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test values of the study group in urea, AST and ALT levels (p<0,05), it was determined that Glucose, creatinine and TSH levels were not significantly different (p>0,05). In conclusion, it can be said that acute swimming exercises applied to women are causing a significant change in liver enzymes (AST, ALT) and urea levels and these changes may be considered beneficial for the health status of the individual.

Introduction Sport has become a major social event today. It continues to develop as an important sector with plans made in accordance with scientific principles. However, it can be considered as a way to acquire the habit of exercising regularly, which is important for health. (Kiyici 2006) Physical activity is an important function of living systems. Exercise affects many systems as well as biochemical parameters (Öztürk 2009). The effect of exercise on biochemical parameters has become an ongoing research area. It is also known that there are changes in biochemical levels depending on the type, severity and duration of the exercise Çakmakçı 2008 . Regular exercises can be defined as long periods of repetitive exercise, while acute exercises can be defined as one-time exercises. Regular exercises in the middle level have opposite effects to acute exercises in the higher intensity. A term taken from toxicology, \x26quot;hormesis\x26quot; means that a substance is beneficial when it is in a low dose, or harmful when in high doses or concentrations and this term is also used to describe the effect of exercise. Belviranlı 2009) Urea is the most abundant waste product that should be thrown out by the kidneys. Urea and uric acid concentrations are related to max VO2, percentage of body fat and anaerobic power, urea and uric acid levels will limit performance as a criterion to determine fatigue (Öztürk 2009). AST and ALT are enzymes that function in the liver parenchyma cells and only in blood cells. These enzymes, which mean liver function tests, can be used to treat liver diseases; some substances (medications) are toxic in the liver, resulting in extreme muscular difficulties resulting in deliberate degenerative changes in blood concentration (Öztürk 2009). TSH is an important pituitary hormone that regulates thyroid gland functions, and TSH levels are a reliable index of biological activity of thyroid hormone (Pancar et al 2017, Cinar et al 2017). In the light of this information in the literature, we aimed to investigate changes in some biochemical parameters (urea, AST, ALT, glucose, creatinine and TSH) of women with acute exercise.
