Resumen: El fútbol semi-profesional impone una gran demanda física, aumentando el riesgo de lesiones musculares debido a la acumulación de partidos y sesiones de entrenamiento con periodos de recuperación limitados. Este estudio evaluó los niveles de interleucina-6 (IL-6) en futbolistas semi-profesionales durante un partido de futbol siete, tanto en adultos como en niños. Se observó un notable aumento en los niveles de IL-6 tras un ejercicio de alta intensidad. La IL-6 no solo refleja una respuesta inflamatoria aguda, sino también una adaptación para mantener la homeostasis energética. Este incremento se asoció con una respuesta inflamatoria de fase aguda, evidenciada por el aumento de la intensidad del ejercicio. Aunque el ejercicio continuado mejora la eficiencia energética de los miocitos y podría reducir la liberación de IL-6, el ejercicio de alta intensidad en el fútbol semi-profesional parece superar estos efectos adaptativos. Esto subraya la necesidad de estrategias de recuperación adecuadas para mitigar el impacto del estrés físico acumulado y prevenir lesiones musculares. En conclusión, los niveles de IL-6 aumentan en respuesta al ejercicio intenso durante un partido de fútbol en jugadores semi-profesionales, tanto adultos como niños. Estos hallazgos destacan la importancia de monitorear IL-6 y otros marcadores inflamatorios para desarrollar estrategias efectivas de entrenamiento y recuperación. Futuros estudios deben investigar intervenciones que modulen la respuesta de IL-6 y optimicen la recuperación en atletas.
Semi-professional football imposes a high physical demand, increasing the risk of muscle injuries due to the accumulation of matches and training sessions with limited recovery periods. This study evaluated interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in semi-professional footballers during a seven-a-side football match, both in adults and children. A notable increase in IL-6 levels was observed after high-intensity exercise. IL-6 not only reflects an acute inflammatory response, but also an adaptation to maintain energy homeostasis. This increase was associated with an acute phase inflammatory response, evidenced by increasing exercise intensity. Although continued exercise improves myocyte energy efficiency and could reduce IL-6 release, high-intensity exercise in semi-professional football seems to overcome these adaptive effects. This underlines the need for adequate recovery strategies to mitigate the impact of accumulated physical stress and prevent muscle injuries. In conclusion, IL-6 levels increase in response to intense exercise during a football match in semi-professional players, both adults and children. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring IL-6 and other inflammatory markers to develop effective training and recovery strategies. Future studies should investigate interventions that modulate the IL-6 response and optimize recovery in athletes.
