Abstract
Background: The influence of homeostatically regulated physiological processes, including cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max), on the response to physical stressors such as acclimatisation and marching, remains understudied. We aimed to investigate the effects of summer and winter acclimatisation and marching on cortisol levels and blood lactate, to gain insight into the role of these physiological processes in the stress response.
Methods: Two groups of young Europeans, classified as poor (PCF; n=9) and good physical condition (GCF; n=21), based on a VO2MAX threshold of 40 mL O2/ kg/min, underwent 2-h March (6-7 km/h) in winter (5˚C) and summer (32˚C). Commercial tests, UniCel DxI Access Cortisol assay and EKF Biosen Clinic/GP assay were used for cortisol and lactate blood measurements (morning samples and those taken immediately after marches), respectively.
期刊介绍:
The JOURNAL OF MEDICAL BIOCHEMISTRY (J MED BIOCHEM) is the official journal of the Society of Medical Biochemists of Serbia with international peer-review. Papers are independently reviewed by at least two reviewers selected by the Editors as Blind Peer Reviews. The Journal of Medical Biochemistry is published quarterly.
The Journal publishes original scientific and specialized articles on all aspects of
clinical and medical biochemistry,
molecular medicine,
clinical hematology and coagulation,
clinical immunology and autoimmunity,
clinical microbiology,
virology,
clinical genomics and molecular biology,
genetic epidemiology,
drug measurement,
evaluation of diagnostic markers,
new reagents and laboratory equipment,
reference materials and methods,
reference values,
laboratory organization,
automation,
quality control,
clinical metrology,
all related scientific disciplines where chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and immunochemistry deal with the study of normal and pathologic processes in human beings.
