The effects of physical activity on homoral immune system (iga, igg, igm)

Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of physical activity on homoral immune system (IgG, IgM, IgA). Material and Methods subjects were 20 male athletes. The subjects exercised for 14 week (running). Blood samples were taken before the first and after the final exercise session (pretest and posttest) and IgG, IgM and IgA levels were measured Results The data were studied by using T-test. It showed that: there is no meaningfull difference between pre and post test in IgG, and there is a meaningfull difference in IgM and IgA. Discussion The results indicate that exercise training decrease serum immunoglobin. Then we can say that exercise training mey have negative effects on immune system and the persons which have problem in their immune system must have low intensity trained. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
