Abstract

Background and Aim: Most studies have investigated the effect of endurance activity on the levels of blood hepcidin and iron and have reported increased hepcidin and decreased iron levels after this type of activities. The aim of the present study was to investigate the acute effect of circuit resistance activity on hepcidin hormone and iron metabolism in active men. Materials and Methods: 30 trained men voluntarily participated in this study and were randomly divided into two circuit resistance exercise and control groups (n=15). The study protocol was circuit resistance exercise consisting of 10 stations (leg press, chest press, barbell curl, lat pull down, leg extension, parallel, triceps pushdown, seated cable row, barbell shoulder press, leg curl) that the duration of activity at each station was 15 seconds and the rest between stations was 45 seconds and the intensity of activity was 60 percent of one maximum repetition that was performed in 4 sets with 3 min rest between sets. Five ml blood samples were gathered before and immediately after resistance exercise from subjects’ antecubital vein and the levels of serum hepcidin, iron, ferritin and RBC were measured. Results: In circuit resistance exercise group the level of blood Hepcidin (p=0.031) and Ferritin (p=0.001) decreased and the level of blood iron (p=0.001) increased significantly. But the changes in red blood cells count was not significant (p=0.055). In control group, significant differences were not observed between pre-test and post-test for none of variables (p>0.05). The amount of post-test Hepcidin level (p=0.012) and blood iron was significantly lower and higher in circuit resistance exercise group compared to control group respectively. Conclusion: In conclusion, it can be said that 60 minutes of resistance circuit activity with the intensity of 60% of 1RM induced a decline in blood hepcidin level and an increase in blood iron level.
