The Effect of Eight Weeks of Aerobic , Anaerobic and Resistance Training on some factor of Endocannabinoid System , Serotonin , Beta-Endorphin and BDNF in Young Men

The aim of this study was investigated the effect of eight weeks of aerobic, anaerobic and resistance training on some endocannabinoid, serotonin, beta-endorphin and BDNF agents of young men. Thirty-two young men (19 to 25 years old) who did not have regular physical activity were randomly divided into four groups, and each of them were participated in various sports exercises for eight weeks. A group for aerobic exercises (two exercises with 65-70 maximum heart rate 3 sessions per week), an anaerobic exercise group (two exercises with a maximum intensity of 3 sessions per week), a group for circular resistance exercises (6-8 Station Which is repeated 8-12 times, and for three times a week) and finally a group was selected as a control. ELISA method was used to measure endocannabinoid system, serotonin, beta-endorphin and BDNF factors. The results showed that eight weeks aerobic training significantly increased serotonin levels and eight weeks aerobic and anaerobic exercise significantly increased BDNF. Aerobic, anaerobic, and resistive exercises have no significant effect on arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG), anandamide(AEA) and beta-endorphin. There was a significant increase in happiness in all three training groups compared to the control group.The results of this study indicated an increase in mediation associated with pleasure and happiness in humans. Concerning the particular effect of long-term exercise on the endocannabinoid system, it is difficult to conclude.
