Abstract

An iron-containing blood protein is called ferritin. The amount of iron stored in the body may be determined with this test. Objective: To evaluate the changes in serum ferritin concentration induced by moderate-intensity exercise for 12 weeks. Methods: Participants (n=20) for this study were selected through the developed inclusion and exclusion criteria which included age (18-25 years), BMI (18.5-24.9), and no chronic disease in participants and non-athletes. After the selection of participants, the participants were divided into two groups which were the control group (n=10) and the experimental group (n=10). After division only the experimental group was allowed to follow the 12-week exercise plan (intervention). Fresh blood samples of around (2-5 ml) were obtained in Ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic Acid (EDTA) vacutainers using 5cc syringes with the help of the hospital paramedic staff. After the sample was collected, the sample was sent to a laboratory for further process of examination of serum ferritin concentration, which was done by professionals. Results: The data were analyzed and evaluated statistically using Version 22 of IBM SPSS software. Different tests including mean, paired sample t-test and independent samples t-test were applied to calculate the p-values of all studied groups. Conclusion: It was concluded that based on data analysis and findings, the researcher concluded that moderate-intensity exercise has a significant impact on serum ferritin concentration among the respondents
