The exercise-instrumental music program and irisin levels in younger non-professional athletes

Abstract

A passive lifestyle and lack of exercise are triggering factors in increasing metabolic syndrome, whereas metabolic syndrome is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to analyse an exercise-based non-pharmacological approach combined with instrumental music to the plasma levels of irisin. The study employed a randomised pretest-posttest-only group design recruiting 30 male participants. The individuals aged between 19-21 years, body mass index (BMI) 18.5-24.9 kg/m2, normal blood pressure, normal resting heart rate (RHR), VO2max 40-50 ml/kg bodyweight/min, normal haemoglobin (Hb). The subjects were randomly divided into three groups, MIE (n=10, moderate-intensity exercise), MIEM (n=10, moderate-intensity exercise + instrumental music), and HIE (n=10, high-intensity exercise). Blood sampling was collected from pre- and 5 min post-exercise treatment. ELISA method was used to measure the circulating irisin levels. The non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann Whitney test and Spearman correlation were chosen to analyse the data. The results showed that there is no significant difference in pre-exercise irisin levels (ng/ml) in MIE (1.58±0.89), MIEM (1.77±3.12), and HIE (1.65±0.88) with a P-value of 0.098. Importantly, the alteration of irisin levels post-exercise program revealed that the level of this peptide (ng/ml) is higher in HIE (7.28±5.11) compared to MIE (1.95±1.85) and MIEM (4.16±3.40) with a P-value of 0.019. The plasma levels of irisin significantly correlate to energy expenditure (r=0.353, P≤0.01), plasma peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α (r=0.597, P≤0.001), and high-density lipoprotein (r=0.513, P≤0.01). In summary, increased irisin secretion may directly contribute to the gradual alteration of energy expenditure and correlate to physical exercise intensity-related musical treatment.

Effectiveness of Zumba Exercise on Maximum Oxygen Volume, Agility, and Muscle Power in Female Students

“…Data collection for measuring body height using a Stadiometer (Seca Corporation, CHINO, California, USA) (Rejeki et al, 2021). Bodyweight was measured using a digital scale (OMRON HN-289, Osaka, JAPAN) (Sugiharto et al, 2022). BMI is calculated using body weight (kg) divided by body height (m 2 ) (Raharjo et al, 2021).…”

“…One way to assess a person's cardiorespiratory endurance is to measure the maximal oxygen volume level (VO 2 max) to measure the capacity of the heart, lungs, and blood to carry oxygen to working muscles and measure the use of oxygen by muscles (Nugraheni et al, 2017). The most common measurement for VO 2 max prediction is the Multi-Stage 20-m Shuttle Run Fitness Test (Paradisis et al, 2014;Sugiharto et al, 2022). This test is widely used by exercise scientists, teachers, coaches, and fitness advisors because it requires limited equipment, is relatively easy to perform, and is suitable for the assessment of a large number of subjects.…”
