- Abstract
In recent years researchers in different countries pay much attention to changes in immune system, which appear as a result of intensified physical exercises. The main reason for such attention lays in the necessity of finding the mechanisms of adaptation to physical loading and a task of corrections of widely spread clinical expressions of immunodeficiency of highly qualified sportsmen, in particular, a high level of susceptibility to infectious diseases. Our work presents results of our comparative research of the functional activity of neutrophil, expressed through a calculated index of activation, for representatives of different sports and the control group, consisting mostly of healthy people, who do not expose to high physical loading. We detected a reliable decrease of the activation index of neutrophils of sportsmen in more than 2 times in comparison to the control group. These results provide grounds for asserting that a high level of physical loading, which is typical of highly qualified sportsmen, has a substantial suppression impact on the immune system, in particular, on the functional activity of neutrophils.
