Nasal response after exercise in swimmers, runners and handball players

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı nazal yanıt üzerine farklı fiziksel aktivitelerin etkilerini araştırmaktır. Yöntem:Bu çalışmaya genç amatör üniversite takımları (erkek 20-24yaşlarında) katıldı. Nazal fonksiyonlar bir aktif anterior rinomanometreyle ölçüldü ve egzersizden önce ve hemen sonra sakkarin transportyöntemi (nazal transport zamanı, NTZ) uygulandı. İlk ölçümlerden sonra birinci grup yüzme havuzunda 30 dakika yüzdü, ikinci grup (açık hava koşucuları) yaklaşık 30 dakikada 10 km koştu, üçüncü grup 30 dakikahentbol oynadı. İlk bulguları istatistiksel olarak egzersiz sonrası elde edilen verilerle karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular:Egzersiz öncesi ve sonrası nazal dirençteki azalmalar karşılaştırıldığında, tüm grupların inspirasyon ve ekspirasyon değerleriistatistiksel açıdan anlamlı idi. Bu üç grup nazal direnç değişikliğiyüzdeleri açısından benzerdi. Egzersiz öncesi ve sonrası NTZ'lerkarşılaştırıldığında, bu üç grubun tümünde egzersizden sonraNTZ'de azalmalar istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı idi. Nazal transport zamanındaki yüzde azalmalar karşılaştırıldığında koşuculara göre hentbol oyuncularının NTZ'sindeki azalma da istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı idi. Sonuç:Nazal direnç ve NTZ'deki azalmalar ortamdaki havanın kalitesi ve yapılan sporun cinsinden etkilenmemiştir

Yüzücülerde, koşucularda ve hentbol oyuncularında egzersiz sonrası nazal yanıt

Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different physical activities on nasal response. Methods:Young non-professional university teams (male, 20 to 24 yearsold) were enrolled in this study. Nasal functions were measured with anactive anterior rhinomanometry and the saccharine transport method (nasaltransport times, NTT) before and immediately after the exercise. After theinitial measurements, the first group swam 30 minutes in the swimming pool.The second group (outdoor runners) ran 10 kilometers in approximately 30minutes. The third group played handball for 30 minutes. The initial findings were compared statistically with the data obtained after exercise. Results: When the reductions in nasal resistance were compared beforeand after exercise, the inspiration and expiration values of all groupswere statistically significant. These three groups were similar regardingthe comparison of nasal resistance change percentages. When theNTTs were compared before and after exercise, the decreases in theamount of time were statistically significant in all these three groupsafter exercise. When the change percentages of the decrease in nasaltransport time were compared, the decrease in handball players was statistically significant compared to runners. Conclusion:Nasal resistance reductions and the decreases in NTTwere not affected by the type of sports being played or the air quality ofthe environment
