Abstract:

The aim of this investigation was to estimate serum ghrelin level to single bout cycling in individuals with asthma. To achieve this aim, serum ghrelin was measured before and immediately after one exercise on electrically braked ergocycle in 14 sedentary men with mild to moderate asthma. Exercise test was performed for 5 stage consecutive 3-minute and same for all participants. Student’s paired‘t’ test was applied to compare the pre and post training values. Significance was accepted at P < 0.05. Data by T test showed no significant difference in serum ghrelin between pre and post test. This finding indicates that one short time exercise can not affect serum ghrelin in asthma patients.
