IMPACT OF ENDURANCE EXERCISE ON SERUM MYELOPEROXIDASE (MPO) AMONG NOVICE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ATHLETES

Abstract

Background: Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is biochemical parameters of the body that play a vital role in maintaining various physiological activities of the human body. Objective: This study will be carried out to scrutinize the Alteration of serum MPO Concentration Associated with endurance exercise among Novice student-athletes. Methods & Materials: The study participants involved twenty (40) newly registered athletes of Punjab University and were placed randomly in a control group (CG, N=20) and an experimental group (EG, N=20). Five (05) ml blood samples were collected from each subject, and thus a different identification code was given to each blood sample. Likewise, serum MPO was assessed by using the principles of MPO calculation i.e. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, myeloperoxidase present in the leukocyte granules oxidizes substrates from colorless form to an insoluble blue/brown derivative at the site of the activity. Benzidine or 3,3′-diaminobenzidine or pphenylenediamine dihydrochloride are used as substrates.. A self-made moderate-intensity exercise intervention of twelve (12) weeks will applied to EG. Pre and post-test data were administered through a statistical package for social sciences (SPSS, version-26), and thus mean, standard deviation and T-score were used as statistical tools for analysis.Conclusion: Based on data analysis the researcher concluded that endurance exercise has a significant impact on serum MPO among novice student-athletes. The result of the study also demonstrated that there is a significant association between exercise and serum MPO concentration. However, the limitations of the study must be considered while interpreting the results of this particular research study.
