Abstract
The study was undertaken to assess the impact of aerobic exercise on electrolyte response among trained and untrained men. To achieve the purpose fifteen south zones inter university place holders from football, kabaddi and hockey teams were selected as trained groups and fifteen students were selected from Department of Political Science, Population Studies and Library Science, Annamalai University, who did not participated any organized types of physical activity as untrained group. Their age ranged between 20-24 years. All the subjects were under went aerobic exercise for a period of 45-60 min/day for 12 w/3 days. And the subjects were performed 15 minutes running on treadmill. The 5 ml of blood sample were collected before and after exercise and analyzed by ion sensitive technique with the help of AUL 983 electrolyte analyzer. To find out exercise induced changes paired‘t’ test was used before and after exercise and ANOVA was employed to find out significant variation on aerobic exercise induced changes in electrolytes for trained and untrained group. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05. The results of the study indicated that an elevation in sodium, potassium and chloride for trained subjects than untrained before and after the aerobic exercise were noticed.
