Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to evaluation of the effect of isotonic resistance training on selected immune system markers in female athlete college students. To perform this study, 20 healthy female volunteer athletes (table tennis player) (Age: 22/3±2), (Body mass index: 22/41± 1/35 kg/ms) were selected for this study and randomly was divided in two groups; 10 subjects in resistance training group (RG), and 10 subjects in control group (CG). All of the athletes was done the physical fitness evaluation and 1RM was taken before, middle, and end of resistance training. 48 hours before first training, the athletes were be familiar with exercise protocols. Then RT group exercised protocol three times per weeks for eight weeks. The protocol included 7 stations and the training volume was carried out exceedingly (80% .85%.90%.95%1RM).24 hours after the last training section, the blood test was taken from all of the subjects. In pre and post protocol white blood cells (WBC), IL6, lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes sample were collected and measured by using Elisa. In order to indicate the normal distribution of data, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used. , before and after the exercise protocol. (p<0.05). The results of the current study indicated that, significant reduction (p=0.006) in rest IL6 level of RT group after eight weeks was observed. More over significant reduction (p=0.041) in amount of WBC of RT group after eight weeks was observed. These results suggest that, regular exercise can be critical point to reduce systematic inflammation, and the related index, such as IL6. It is one of the advantages adaption via these exercise. Isotonic resistance exercise can be the important and basic factor in systematic inflammation decrease and also reduction in relative factors such as interleukin 6 which is one of the reports of these kind exercises.
