Effects of aerobic and anaerobic physical conditioning on fibrinolysis.
The effects of aerobic and anaerobic physical conditioning on fibrinolysis were studied before and immediately after physical exercise. Moderately active controls (group A) were compared with aerobically- (group B) or anaerobically-conditioned (group C) subjects. Comparison of the resting parameters revealed that FgDP were significantly higher in group B as a compared to groups A and C. FbDP did not significantly differ between groups B and C and were significantly lower in group A. t-PA antigen and PAI antigen did not significantly differ between the three groups, but t-PA activity was elevated and PAI activity and t-PA/PAI complexes were reduced in group B. Following a maximal exercise test on the treadmill both FbDP and FgDP were significantly increased in all groups, although values for FbDP in group B and values for FgDP in group C reached a higher level than in group A. t-PA antigen and t-PA activity were also increased in the three groups. PAI activity was significantly reduced in groups A and C. t-PA/PAI complexes were significantly enhanced in all cases, but increased to a lower degree in group B. These results indicate that both aerobic and anaerobic physical conditioning induce activation of the fibrinolytic system.
