Acute and temporal responses of brain–derived neurotrophic factor and Interleukin-6 to high and low repetition resistance training programs

The purpose of this study was to determine if resistance exercise altered
peripheral BDNF concentration. Eighteen trained male subjects were split into two
groups performing varied repetition ranges. DUP-HR and DUP-LR groups trained
3x/week for 8 weeks, and were equated for total volume (repetitions X sets X intensity).
Plasma BDNF and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were measured prior to and immediately
following the first exercise session of weeks 1, 2, 4 and 6. Pre-exercise levels were also
assessed prior to the second and third sessions of week 1 and 6. Lastly, resting levels
were measured before and after training intervention. No group differences (p>0.05) were detected for either biomarker. An acute BDNF elevation (p=0.018) was detected only in the final week of training. IL-6 elevations were detected at all acute measurements (p<0.01). BDNF and IL-6 percentage change correlated significantly (p<0.05) in week-1. No chronic alterations were observed (p>0.05). / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015 / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
