The Effect of a Single Bout of Futsal on Uric Acid Concentration in Female Collegiate Athletes: a Pilot Study
Abstract
Introduction and objective: Futsal is the most growing sport in the world. Many studies have documented that exercise or sports improve antioxidant activity. However, the effect of futsal on antioxidant is not known. The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of playing futsal on uric acid concentration (UA). Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study involved twenty females collegiate futsal players. Ten of them were assigned to play futsal (futsal group) while ten other players assign not to play futsal group (controls group). The UA concentration was measured from capillary blood using strip test methods. Uric acid was checked before (baseline UA) and after playing futsal (posts UA). Futsal was played according to the game rules. Independent and paired-samples t test was applied. Significance was set at p<0.05. Results: Baseline and post-UA were not different between groups (p=0.52 and p=0.13, respectively). Post UA was significantly elevated in futsal group (0.73 mg/dL, p<0.01). The elevated UA was significantly different with control (0.73 vs -0.19 mg/dL, p<0.01). Discussion: Sport and exercise have been known to play role as an antioxidant. This benefit effect could prevent several diseases. However the study on the effect of futsal on antioxidant are very lacking. Our study indicated a single bout of futsal improved an antioxidant activity in female futsal player. The results should be interpreted with cautions due to several limitations including sample size, design of the study, and antioxidant marker. Conclusion: A single bout of futsal increases the uric acid concentration in female collegiate futsal players.
