The effect of exercise mode and intensity on rate and type of Exercise-induced roteinuria in active young males

Exercise induced proteinuria is more related to the intensity and exercise mode than to the duration. Limited studies about the concomitant effect of exercise mode and sub-maximal intensity on the rate of urea protein excretion are available. Ten young active males performed the training protocol in three different exercise modes (elliptical, running on treadmill and cycle-ergometer) conducted at two sub-maximal intensities (70% and 80% of maximal heart rate) on separate days. The rate of albumin (Alb), total protein, creatinine, and β2microglubolin (β2-m) excretion prior to and after exercise were measured. No significant difference on the rate of urine protein excretion was observed following the three exercise models at two different intensities (P≥0.05). Only creatinine following elliptical at intensity of 85% maximal heart rate did show significant difference (P≤0.05). Based on the findings of this study, it is concluded that the different exercise modes at sub-maximal intensities have insignificant effect on the athletic proteinuria and are not stimuli for the effective factors on the athletic proteinuria.
