Acute Behaviour of Physiological Variables in MMA Fighters Pre, During and After Competition

Mixed Martial Arts or Mixed Martial Arts, better known as MMA, is practiced as a regularly counted sport or in tournaments in which two competitors seek to defeat each other, having as main characteristic the freedom to combine a “MIX” of fighting modalities and/or martial arts such as boxing, muay thay, taekwondo, karate, jiu-jitsu, judo, sambô, Wrestling [1] as well as the use of various body parts to strike blows against your opponent, and the fight must be won by knockout [2].


Introduction
Mixed Martial Arts or Mixed Martial Arts, better known as MMA, is practiced as a regularly counted sport or in tournaments in which two competitors seek to defeat each other, having as main characteristic the freedom to combine a "MIX" of fighting modalities and/or martial arts such as boxing, muay thay, taekwondo, karate, jiu-jitsu, judo, sambô, Wrestling [1] as well as the use of various body parts to strike blows against your opponent, and the fight must be won by knockout [2].
It is understood with acute behaviour all responses resulting from a high intensity, strenuous task and these can be analysed differently or related to such tasks, seeking interpretations for this behaviour can determine a better sports performance since the planning/periodization of the training presents individualized parameters of organization and prescription-with these answers expected to be the most assertive as the physiological responses during a competition.
Several physiological variables can be observed, which is by means of direct in-heart rate analysis (HR) and/or direct analysis-

The Objective
Conduct a systemic review of studies of which present the physiological variables in MMA fighters; however, these variables are presented in the fighting conditions.

Rand Systematic Vision
Systemic vision requires a "mining" to fences of studies that present in a "repeated" way the same contents, related to supplementing information of a synthesizing character about the subject/question [3].
In the literature, few findings present contents that aim to analyse, observe not only physiological variables, but that these have been collected moments before the competitions, during the competitions (rounds) immediately the end of the competitions

Methodology
To perform these, a research was carried out in the national electronic academic channel, using the descriptors: acute behavior, physiological variables, MMA fighters, where we could observe: thus not corroborating the specific objective of this, as well as productions of which presented in their discourse some of the research descriptors were not consistent with the specific objective of this field research, therefore; there will be few information that may supplement or act to the detriment of this review because it does not contain materials from which it may be used in the research discursion. Thus, the nature of this work is to present the physiological variables of MMA fighters, in the pre, during (rounds) conditions, immediately after the end of the competition, and after competition/recovery (24h).

Methodology
The athletes were submitted to anthropometric evaluation (body mass, height, and percentage estimate of body fat) 24 hours before the fight and the estimated percentage of body fat measured the thickness of the skinfolds using the 3-fold method proposed by Jackson and [4]. Analysing the effect of an MMA fight on hormone levels (T and C) and biochemical markers, the athletes were evaluated at four distinct moments: 24 hours before (-24h), one hour before (-1h), immediately after (0h) and 24 hours after (+ 24h)at the end of the twenty men's fights, Professional MMA athletes, competitors in an official event, were selected according to the following inclusion criteria: he practiced the sport for at least six years; competed in at least three fights as a professional and did not use anabolic steroids or other medications that might influence the results. The subjects were divided into two groups of 10

Experimental Procedures
All athletes arrived at the venue at least 48 hours before the fight and remained in a nearby hotel. The anthropometry was performed on this day on the site. Thus 24 hours before the fight, blood was collected, and this sample was collected in the accommodation.
This sample, as well as the others, was performed by qualified nurses. After dandstand procedure, the athletes remained in their accommodations until two hours before the fight. At the scene one hour before the fight, a second blood sample collection was performed, and a third sample was performed immediately after each fight ended. Thus, the subject remained comfortably seated, with a tourniquet applied on the upper limb, when 10ml of blood was collected from the athlete's median cubital vein using a venous blood collection system (BD Vacutainer, New Jersey, USA). Rodrigo As reference the blood samples were transported to a certified laboratory (there is a qualiz for the laborstory) immediately after they were collected, where they were centrifugal sat at 1500rpm for 10 minutes (Megafuge 1.0R, Heraeus, Germany). later, the serum was removed and maintained at -20ºC for further laboratory analysis. Posteriori was measured to injure waist (CINT) and hip (QUAD) measurements, rodrigo was used to measure Blood Pressure (BP) using the Missouri sphygmomanometer, with a resolution of 20.00mmHg, so to measure heart rate (HR) using the Polar frequency meter, model F-1.
After the collection of blood material, there was a multidisciplinary team composed of nurses (12), physicians (2), while anthropometric measurements were counted on physical education professionals (11).

Results
After the evaluation of the data and variables, the same s were organized in excel spreadsheet s and these are presented below in the form of tables, that is, in Table 1 we will praise the measurements relevant to anthropometry (TP,%G, BMI, CINT., QUAD., and WHR) of the athletes, already from this we will present the values of physiological markers: Table 2 cortisol (CORT.) , when in Table 3 lactate levels (LACT), iore; Table 4 possible changes in creatine kinase (CK) and finally in Table 5 numbers that match the changes in testosterone (TEST) ( Table 1).

American Journal of Biomedical Science & Research
Copy@ Rodrigo Poderoso de Souza Table 1 shows anthropometric relationship measurements, individual information according to the athlete, so we can enhance a minimum Practice Time (TP) of 6 years and maximum 15 years; [5] observed that field tennis athletes, more experienced by the Authors such as [6] observed the waist circumference of jiu-jitsu fighters (N-11), whose analysis will be that 52% of the evaluated those presented acceptable measures of this marker (seek normative table).

Discussion
Thus, through the WAIST/HIP RATIO (WHR), we can list 20% (N-4) of the evaluated individuals presented WHR values › 0.90, i.e., these individuals are more susceptible to metabolic diseases when only this physiological marker is observed. This statement assumes of Lean and collaborators [7] of which refer to the cut-off point 94-102cm for men characterizing risk (level 1) and increased risk (level 2) above these numbers, so we can observe that the athletes involved in these present risks, however not accentuated.

Insert possible statistical analysis-Cortisol
In adverse stress conditions, the endocrine system contributes to the increase of several glucocorticoides, cortisol(hydrocortisone, compound F) being the most important among these [8],which is considered a stress hormone [9][10][11], it is worth mentioning that according to the circadian cycle this can exhibit variations, thus the same has maximum peaks in the second half of the morning and declines during the day; still, minimum values in the early evening [12], this marker should be related to competitive stress, however the same in some studies has been observed as a marker of overtraining-when exposed to high levels of training and/or in chronic conditions, [13] Kim, et al. 2009 analysed behavior in golf athletes and observed that cortisol levels were higher than competitions(the analyses collected and at rest , before, during and after competitions).

Insert possible statistical analysis -Lactate
Observing lactate variations allows them to determine not only the intensity of training with the zones of metabolic transitions, commonly observed the concentration of lactate at rest varies between 0.7 and 1.0mM [14], and these values can vary exponentially between 20.0 and 25.0mM [15]. Authors such as [16] suggest that the concentration close to 4.0mM corresponds to the anaerobic threshold, being considered maximum effort intensity with predominance of the aerobic system. [ [19] being this at high intensities-characterizing a glycolytic nature of the energy pathway [20].

Insert possible statistical analysis -Creatine Kinase
Several studies praise the analysis of plasma concentrations of Creatine Kinase (CK), which is used as an indicator of stress on skeletal muscles due to activity [21][22][23], still; as a load monitoring marker [24,25] so the more intense the activity, the greater the microcracks in the musculature-allowing greater extravasation of this enzyme into the extracellular medium.

Insert possible statistical analysis -Testosterone
Testosterone, considered as the main androgen of circulation, being responsible for the development and maintenance of male and anabolic sex of tissues, is synthesized from cholesterol from the synthesis of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL).
