Abstract
This study was conducted on a sample of “14” fourteen players, with “7” seven players for each specialty (boxing and rowing), who were purposively selected. Blood was drawn from the vein in two stages of the boxers and rowers with a rate of “4” cm3 of the blood using an ergometer in each stage for each player before the experiment and after the experiment. All chemical analyses and medical procedures were carried out by a specialized and certified doctor in “El-Rahman Laboratory” for medical analyses and hematology. This study aims at identifying the effect of boxing and rowing on protein metabolism (amount of total protein, albumin, globulin, alpha antitrypsin, transferrin, immunoglobulin G “IgG”, immunoglobulin M “IgM”, haptoglobin) in blood serum. The results of this study showed a significant increase in the amount of total protein, albumin, alpha antitrypsin, transferrin, immunoglobulin G “IgG”, and haptoglobin. In the case of intensive exercise, the body derives its energy not only from stored fats, but from proteins in the tissues, therefore, the researchers recommend that the athletes who perform an intensive effort to take protein food into consideration so as to reduce the rate of breakdown of proteins within the tissues
