Purpose: Intensive, long-term activity can damage the immunity system and cause inflammation. So, a natural anti-inflammatory intermediate like green tea has attracted the interests. The objective of the present study was to examine the impact of green tea consumption and intensive aerobic exercise training on body composition, creatine phosphokinase and lactate dehydrogenase parameters in sedentary young men.Materials and methods: Thirty-eight sedentary young men (age: 19.87±1.63 years) were participated in study and were randomly divided into four groups: green tea + aerobic training, aerobic training, green tea, and control. The subjects took three mg green tea or placebo a day with their meals. Also, green tea + aerobic training and aerobic training groups had aerobic training with 55-85% of maximum heart beat rate three sessions a week for one month. Blood samples were taken before and after four weeks and 24 hours after El-Estado test and their creatine phosphokinase and lactate dehydrogenase were measured. Data were analyzed with t-paired test and covariance test.Results: It was revealed that fat percentage was significantly lower in green tea group (p < 0.001) but, no significance was observed in other variables.Conclusion: It seems that green tea consumption with regular, short aerobic activities can favorably affect subcutaneous fat percentage.

Background: Bruce and Cooper tests are used to determine the maximum oxygen consumption. However, the response of the indicators of muscle cell damage (Lactate dehydrogenase, Creatine kinase), cardiac (Creatine kinase-MB), and liver (Aspartate aminotransferase, Alanine aminotransferase and Alkaline phosphatase) have not been compared following Bruce and Cooper tests.Materials and Methods: For this purpose, 18 sedentary male students (age: 20.88 ± 2.27 years, body mass index 22.67 ± 1.36 kg/m2), performed Bruce and Cooper protocols in two separate periods (one month interval). Blood sampling was taken before, immediately, 24 and 48 hours after each test. Serum concentrations of dependent variables were determined by commercial kits. Repeated measure and covariance analysis has been used to evaluated statistical difference in inter and intra group at P
