Blood Parameter Changes Following Aerobic Exercise in Professional Soccer Players
Sponsor: Inonu University
Summary
This study aims to investigate acute changes in serum ferritin, folate, vitamin B12, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels following aerobic exercise in professional soccer players. Twenty professional male soccer players will voluntarily participate in the study. Participants will complete a progressive 20-meter shuttle run test. Venous blood samples will be collected immediately before and after the exercise protocol. Pre- to post-exercise changes in each blood parameter will be analyzed to determine the acute physiological responses to aerobic exercise in professional soccer players.

20-Meter Shuttle Run Test
Participants will perform a progressive 20-meter shuttle run test by running continuously between two lines positioned 20 meters apart in time with prerecorded audio signals. Running speed will progressively increase as the interval between the audio signals decreases. The test will end when the participant fails to reach the designated line before the signal on two consecutive occasions.
