Abstract:
Introduction: The aim of present study was to comparison of
glucose and insulin concentration in elite sprint and
endurance runners after an exhaustive aerobic exercise.
Material & Methods: Sixteen elite sprint (n=8; 3.8±1.8 years
experience of tournament playing, mean±SD) and endurance
(n-8; 6.2±2.3 years experience of tournament playing,
mean±SD) runners volunteered to participate in this study.
Blood samples were taken before, immediately, 30 and 120
min after the Bruce test. Glucose solution containing 75 g
oral glucose dissolved in 250 ml of water to drink was
consumed by subjects after the exercise.
Results: The results showed that glucose and insulin level
increased 30 and 120 min after the exercise in compare to
basal level in both groups (P<0.05), while no significant
difference was observed between the groups.
Conclusion: In conclusion, sprint and endurance running
have similar effects on glucose and insulin concentration after
an exhaustive exercise.

Introduction: The aim of present study was to comparison of glucose and insulin concentration in elite sprint and endurance runners after an exhaustive aerobic exercise.
Thus the aim of present study was to comparison of glucose and insulin concentration in elite sprint and endurance runners after an exhaustive aerobic exercise.
3. Results Glucose concentration As shown in the figure 1; glucose concentration has not significant changes immediately after the exhaustive exercise in sprint runners, however, blood glucose increase 34.
Changes of insulin concentration in sprint and endurance runners after an exhaustive exercise * signifficant differences in compare to the baseline (P signifficant differences in compare to immediately after the exercise (P Discussion Although fat and carbohydrate oxidation are the main fuel that utilized during long term activities, but the utilization of free faty acids dereased and carbohydrate utilization increased during moderate to high intensity exercises.
Conclusion In conclusion, sprint and endurance running have similar effects on glucose and insulin concentration after an exhaustive exercise.
