Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of sepak takraw practice on interleukin-6 and creatine kinase concentrations. Twelve male sepak takraw athletes participated in this research. A cross-over design was created consisting of sepak takraw practice and resting trials. Venous blood samples were taken before, immediately after, and one hour after either control or sepak takraw practice trials. Serum interleukin-6 was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Creatine kinase, glucose, and triglyceride concentrations were assessed by using enzymatic colorimetric methods. Data was analyzed using two way repeated measures of ANOVA and a paired t-tests. Interleukin-6 and creatine kinase concentrations were increased significantly immediately after and one hour following sepak takraw practice. However, there was no alteration in circulating glucose, triglyceride, and glycogen concentrations. In conclusion, sepak takraw practice contributes to an increase in circulating interleukin-6 and creatine kinase concentrations.Intensity and duration of the practice should be a consideration. © 2016, Prince of Songkla University.
