Abstract

The purpose of the present research is to investigate the effects of acute soccer game on serum levels of neurotrophins and neurocognitive function. The subjects of the research were 15 healthy male adolescents. The subjects underwent two experiments: one experiment in the soccer game treatment (SOC) condition, and the other in the self-study treatment (CON) condition. Blood samples were collected at three times: before treatment (Pre), after treatment (Post), and 2 hours post treatment (Post-2 h) for the analyses of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). For the measurements of neurocognitive functions, the Stroop Color-Word test was performed at blood collecting times. The results of the research showed that the serum levels of BDNF, NGF, and IGF-1 were significantly increased after the soccer game (p<0.05), and significantly higher in SOC than CON at Post (p<0.05). In the Stroop Color-Word test, significantly increased scores were observed in SOC at Post (p<0.05), and significantly higher in SOC than in CON at Post and Post-2 h (p<0.05). These results suggest that acute soccer game has positive effects on neurocognitive functions by increasing the neurotrophins.

본 연구의 목적은 1회성 축구활동이 남자 청소년의 혈청 뉴로트로핀 수준과 신경인지 기능에 미치는 영향을 규명하는데 있다. 연구의 대상은 건강한 남자 청소년 15명으로 하였으며, 연구 대상은 축구활동 처치(SOC) 조건과 자율학습 처치(CON) 조건의 2가지 처치 조건에 참여하였다. 채혈은 처치 전(Pre), 처치 후(Post), 처치 후 2시간(Post-2 h) 시점에서 총 3회 실시하였으며, 채취된 혈액을 이용하여 혈청 serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)을 분석하였다. 신경인지 기능의 평가는 Stroop 색체-단어 검사를 이용하였으며, 채혈 시점과 동일한 시점에서 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 혈청 BDNF, NGF, IGF-1 수준은 축구활동 후 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<0.05), Post 시점에서 SOC 조건이 CON 조건과 비교하여 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). Stroop 색체-단어 검사는 색체-단어 검사 점수에서 축구활동 후 유의한 증가를 나타내었으며(p<0.05), Post 시점과 Post-2 h 시점에서 SOC 조건이 CON 조건과 비교하여 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 1회성 축구활동이 뉴로트로핀을 증가시켜 신경인지 기능에 긍정적 영향을 나타낸 것으로 판단된다.
