Aim of the study To investigate exercise-related changes in the intraocular pressure (IOP) in healthy participants of a 500-km swim relay. Material and methods A group of 12 well-trained amateur swimmers aged 13-67 years participated in a 500-km swim relay in the Warta River, Poland. Each participant underwent detailed clinical examinations, including IOP and central corneal thickness measurements, 2-3 weeks before the relay (baseline) and at peak effort (10 min after the last shift). A baseline maximal treadmill exercise test was also conducted for measurement of the maximal oxygen consumption (VO2) and metabolic equivalent of task (MET) values. Results None of the athletes (12 eyes) exhibited significant changes in IOP at peak effort (mean change from 14.3 to 15.4 mmHg, p > 0.05). Six male subjects exhibited an exercise-induced mean increase in IOP at peak effort, from 15.6 to 18.5 mmHg (6 eyes, p < 0.05). In six female subjects, the peak effort was not associated with significant IOP changes; IOP mean declined slightly from 13.0 to 12.3 mmHg (6 eyes, p > 0.05). IOP parameters, including the pressure at rest, pressure at peak effort, and pressure change, showed no significant correlations with cardiorespiratory aerobic fitness determined by VO2 and MET. Conclusions This pilot study did not reveal changes in IOP among well-trained amateur athletes in response to prolonged vigorous swimming. These results, as well as sex-specific differences, in IOP changes at peak effort due to the small sample size must be confirmed by examinations in a larger group. |
