Ann Pak Inst Med Sci Jan ;12(2):49-53.

Background: Serum CK level and SaO2 have significant role during exercise. The higher the muscle mass the higher will be its damage after exercise. Objectives: To find out the Post Exercise CK & SaO2 levels in relationship of BMI among healthy university individuals as an attempt to establish normal reference ranges. Materials & Methods: 200 participants including 50% Males and 50% females SaO2 was measured by Pulse Oximeter and 3 ml blood was drawn prior to exercisetorun3 Km on a treadmill for serum CK level on Spectrophotometer. SaO2 was recorded immediately after exercise while 3 ml blood was drawn after 4 hours of exercise. Data analyzed on SPSS version 20.0. Results: In females and males, the mean post exercise CK and SaO2values were found to be significant with the p-value of <0.05. While there was a non-significant Pearson correlation coefficient was found with Post SaO2 in males with r=0.144, p=0.15 and in females with the BMI r=0.109, p=0.28 and Post exercise CK r=0.187, p=0.06. Conclusion: The strenuous exercise among non-athletes has indicated significant changes of CK and SaO2 due to changes in BMI among both genders.
