What is it about?
The blood levels of HSP70 may be regarded as a marker of the rate and plasticity of the adaptive processes occurring in the body after physical exercise

Why is it important?
Moderate physical activity is known to be beneficial to physical and mental health. It prolongs life and reduces the risk of mortality. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to explore the changes in the blood levels of HPS70 in athletes engaged in different sport disciplines and non-athletes.
Perspectives
There were higher basal levels of HSP70 in the blood of athletes as compared to non-athletes. The values registered for rowing athletes exceeded those registered for non-athletes by 2.83 times (13.08 ± 1.15 ng/mL versus 4.62 ± 0.73 ng/mL, p < 0.05). In gymnasts, the basal levels of HSP70 exceeded those measured in non-athletes by 4.20 times (19.40 ± 1.86 ng/mL versus 4.62 ± 0.73 ng/mL, p < 0.05). After submaximal physical exercise, the concentrations of HSP70 and total anti-HSP70 in the blood of athletes returned to the baseline values within 24 hours. As to non-athletes, they still followed an increasing trend at 24 hours post-exercise. This is indicative of impairment of the adaptive processes in the body of nonathletes and inability of their body to restore cellular homeostasis in due time.
