The increase of inflammatory biomarkers due to decompression dive is one of the factors that could cause decompression sickness (DCS), one of them is tumor necrosis alpha (TNF?). According to the preconditioning theory, exercise before dive can reduce amount of gas bubble to prevent DCS. This study aimed to prove that exercise before diving can prevent increase of TNF?. This study employed quasi-experimental design with trained male divers. The subject divided into two groups, treatment and control. The treatment group got submaximal exercise with 70% heart rate intensity, using cycle ergometer with young men's Christian association (YMCA) procedure modify by Guritno, 24 hours before decompression dive 280 kPa bottom time 80 minute with US-NAVY table, whereas the control group only do decompression dive. TNF? expression was checked three times, at beginning of study, before dive and after dive. In treatment group there was insignificant decrease TNF?, from 7.06?1.85pg./ml to 6.75?1.81pg./ml, whereas the control group showed a significant increased TNF?, from 8.22 (1.45 to 13.11)pg./ml to 8.39 (1.73 to 12.18)pg/ml, and significant difference was found between the mean difference for two groups p<0.05. It can be concluded that acute submaximal exercise prevents an increase of TNF? after single dive decompression to prevent possibility occurring DCS). ? 2021, Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.
