Abstract

Fifteen male swimmers (mean age 19.3±2.1 years) were subjected to a standard 120 min swimming exercise test: a) before, and b) after 5 weeks of intensive training at middle altitude (2000 m).

At rest, serum levels of Ω 2-macroglobulin, transferrin and copper were elevated in swimmers as compared to untrained subjects. After the altitude training program, significant increases of the parameters of iron and copper metabolism, as well as of α 2HS-glycoprotein and Β 1A-globulin were observed.

After the first exercise test (a), a significant rise in serum α 1-acid glycoprotein, α 1-antitrypsin, hemopexin, α 2-macroglobulin, ceruloplasmin, transferrin, iron, copper and α 2-HS-glycoprotein was noted. The same 120 min-exercise test after the altitude training (b) led to only small changes, especially as concerns the parameters of iron metabolism.

The characteristic immediate and long-lasting changes in serum proteins and heavy metals in swimmers and the effects of training in middle altitude on the answer of the organism to swimming exercise with respect to the mentioned biochemical parameters are discussed.

Zusammenfassung

15 Schwimmer (mittleres Alter 19,3±2,1 Jahre) unterzogen sich einem Schwimmbelastungsversuch von 120 min Dauer: a) vor und b) nach 5 Wochen intensiven Trainings in mittlerer Höhe (2000 m).

In Ruhe waren die Serumspiegel von α 2-Makroglobulin, Transferrin und Kupfer der Schwimmer im Vergleich zu Nichtsportlern erhöht. Nach dem Höhentrainingsprogramm wurden signifikante Erhöhungen der Eisen- und Kupferstoffwechselgrö\en sowie des α 2HS-Glykoproteins und Β 1A-Globulins beobachtet.

Nach dem ersten Schwimmbelastungversuch (a) fand sich eine signifikante Zunahme des Serum α 1-sauren Glykoproteins, α 1-Antitrypsins, HÄmopexins, α 2-Makroglobulins, Coeruloplasmins, Transferrins, des Eisens und des Kupfers sowie des α 2HS-Glykoproteins. Derselbe Belastungsversuch nach dem Höhen-training (b) führte nur zu geringen VerÄnderungen, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Eisenstoffwechselparameter.

Die charakteristischen Sofort- und SpÄtverÄnderungen der Serum-Proteine und Schwermetalle bei Schwimmern und der Einflu\ von Training in mittlerer Höhe auf die Reaktion des Organismus auf Schwimmbelastung werden unter Berücksichtigung der untersuchten biochemischen Grö\en diskutiert.
