Sportomics Analysis: Triad Body Composition, Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha and Immunometabolism in Athletes

Abstract

The close relationship between changes in body composition and the development of comorbidities was already observed by Hippocrates more than 2000 years ago. The objective was to investigate the acute impact caused by a treadmill running test on high-level athletes. In addition to identifying the acute changes that occurred in different plasma lipoproteins in the plasma concentration of TNF (Tumoral Necrosis Factor) and observing a possible correlation between TNF and body composition in running athletes. This cross-sectional, descriptive, and observational study is based on a sports strategy with high-level young athletes. The sample consisted of 10 male high-performance athletics athletes who are members of the athletics association in Barra do Garças, MT, Brazil. Using a gas analyzer, the treadmill exercise protocol was progressively increased until exhaustion. The variation in TNF levels showed a correlation with the variation of phospholipids (1.0), the variation in total cholesterol (1.0), with the variation of total lipids (1.0), and the variation of Low-Density Lipoprotein (0.9), lipoprotein, which also showed a correlation with the post-exercise TNF value (0.9). In addition, the pre-exercise TNF presented a correlation coefficient with the weight of the individuals (-0.9) and the variation of TNF with the Body Mass Index (-0.928). Using statistical correlation tests and presenting results with heat maps can be a data mining tool for evaluating biomarkers and different variables in immunometabolism studies. The present study also presents new perspectives on the relationship between body composition and immunometabolism.
