The present study was performed to investigate the effects of strenuous exercise and calcium supplementation on cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone levels in athletes at rest and exhaustion. Thirty male athletes, ages 17-21 years, were enrolled in the 4-week study. They were divided into three groups as follows: group 1 (n = 10): training without supplementation; group 2 (n = 10): training and calcium supplemented, and group 3 (n = 10): calcium supplemented without training. Venous blood samples were obtained for determination of the hormones. One-month supplementation with calcium does not influence the cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone in athletes, but strenuous exercise results in a significant increase in their levels with or without supplementation (p < 0.05).
本研究旨在调查剧烈运动和补充钙对运动员休息和疲惫时皮质醇及促肾上腺皮质激素水平的影响。30名年龄在17至21岁的男性运动员参与了这项为期4周的研究。他们被分为以下三组:第1组(n = 10):不补充进行训练;第2组(n = 10):训练并补充钙;第3组(n = 10):不训练只补充钙。采集静脉血样以测定激素水平。对运动员进行为期一个月的钙补充不会影响其皮质醇和促肾上腺皮质激素水平,但无论是否补充钙,剧烈运动都会导致这些激素水平显著升高(p < 0.05)。
