Dampak Olahraga Berlebihan Terhadap Kualitas Sperma

Abstract

Excessive exercise increases the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in the body. Too much ROS will result in decreased sperm quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of excessive exercise on sperm quality. The method used was experimental design with post test only control group design on the experimental animal rat Galur Wistar. Rats were given swimming activity for ± 25 minutes every day for 4 weeks. Examination of sperm quality by looking at morphology, motility and sperm count. The results of all examinations obtained a p-value <0.05, it means that the impact of excessive exercise will worsen sperm quality. Conclusion: Excessive exercise decreases sperm motility, morphology and sperm count.
Keywords: exercise; sperm

ABSTRAK

Olahraga berlebihan meningkatkan produksi Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) di dalam tubuh. Kadar ROS yang terlalu banyak akan mengakibatkan penurunan kualitas sperma. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui dampak olahraga berlebihan terhadap kualitas sperma. Metode yang digunakan adalah experimental dengan rancangan post test only control group design terhadap hewan coba tikus Galur Wistar. Tikus diberikan aktivitas renang selama ±25 menit setiap hari selama 4 minggu. Pemeriksaan kualitas sperma dengan melihat morfologi, motilitas dan jumlah sperma. Hasil seluruh pemeriksaan mendapatkan nilai p<0,05 maka dapat diartikan bahwa dampak olahraga berlebihan akan memperburuk kualitas sperma. Kesimpulan olahraga berlebihan menurunkan motilitas, morfologi dan jumlah sperma.
