Popis: Given the wide variety of conditioning program trainings employed, the present study compared the catabolic effects induced by CrossFit®
and resistance training in moderately trained subjects. Twenty males joined either the CrossFit®
group (n = 10
30 min/day of &ldquo
workout of the day&rdquo
) or the resistance training (RT) group (n = 10
30 min/day of resistance exercises) thrice a week, for 8 weeks. Salivary levels of cortisol, interleukin 1-beta (IL-1&beta
), and uric acid were assessed via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays before (PRE) and 30-min after (POST) SESSION 1 and SESSION 24. Variables&rsquo
percentual changes were computed as (POST-PRE)/PRE*100 in each session (&Delta
%). CrossFit®
acutely increased cortisol levels in both sessions, with a significant decrease in &Delta
%cortisol from SESSION 1 to 24. In the RT group, cortisol values decreased in both sessions, only acutely. A significant decrease in IL-1&beta
levels was registered acutely in both groups, in both sessions, whereas &Delta
%IL-1&beta
was not different between the two groups. While uric acid levels increased in both groups acutely, a chronic downregulation of &Delta
%uric acid, from SESSION 1 to 24, was appreciated for the RT group only. Overall, CrossFit®
appeared to induce more intense effects than the RT program as to the investigated catabolic responses.
