Abstract

Background

Anaerobic exercise, characterized by short bursts of high-intensity activity such as weightlifting, sprinting, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), has been documented to influence the body physiology.

Objective

The study investigated the acute impact of weightlifting and rope jumping exercise sessions on blood pressure, pulse rate, blood glucose, body temperature, pulmonary indices, and urine creatinine and electrolyte levels in healthy male subjects.

Methods

Twenty participants, aged 18-25, were randomly assigned to the control group (n=10) and the exercise group (n=10). The control group watched exercise videos of weightlifting and rope jumping, respectively. The anaerobic exercise group performed weightlifting and rope jumping exercise sessions, respectively. Before the commencement of the experiment, the participants were given a 15-minute rest, and their blood pressure, body temperature, and blood glucose were measured. Then they were given 600 mL of water and 15 g of glucose for hydration and energy. After 45 minutes, their cardiovascular indices, blood glucose, body temperature, pulmonary indices, and urine sample for assessment of urine electrolyte and creatinine levels were taken. After that, the control group watched a video of people engaged in weight lifting, and the exercise group lifted 6 kg dumbbells (3 kg per arm) for 15 minutes with a 20-second break period after every 2 minutes of performing the exercise or watching the video. After the first session, a 30-minute recuperation period was given before the commencement of the second session (rope jumping). The same procedure was repeated in the second session. Blood pressure, pulse rate, blood glucose, and body temperature were measured immediately after the first session, 15, 30 minutes after the first session, immediately after the second session, 15, and 30 minutes after the second session. Pulmonary indices and urine samples were taken immediately after the first session, 30 minutes after the first session, immediately after the second session, and 30 minutes after the second session.

Results

The results showed a significant increase in systolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature; however, there was no significant difference in diastolic blood pressure, lung function parameters, or blood glucose in the exercise group compared to the control group. In addition, the exercise group showed a significant increase in urine sodium and potassium levels, as well as a significant decrease in urine creatinine level, at the end of the 30-minute recuperation period compared to the control group.

Conclusion

The study demonstrated that weightlifting and rope jumping exercise sessions significantly increased blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature, but had no significant effect on lung function and blood glucose level. These findings suggest that weightlifting and rope jumping have short-term effects on cardiovascular functions and body temperature, but do not alter lung function or blood glucose level in healthy young males. Significant changes may occur in lung function and blood glucose levels in a long-term study.
