The Effect of an Intense Anaerobic Exercise Session on Serum Levels of IgG, IgM and IgA in Handball, Volleyball and Climbing Sports

The immune system protects the body against many invasive foreign materials. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an intense anaerobic exercise session on serum IgG, IgM and IgA levels in handballists, volleybalists and climbists. In this study, 45 professional athletes with the average age of 20-30 years old who had participated in the major leagues and the first batch of Zahedan city were invited for this purpose. In this research, 30 second Wingate test was used to assess anaerobic power. Blood samples before, immediately after, and 2h after exercises were collected and serum levels of immunoglobulins IgG, IgM ˛ IgA concentration were measured by nephlometry method. The results of this study indicated that the level of serum immunoglobulins IgG, IgM ˛ IgA concentration in all three study groups before and after and two hours past exercise did not significant change (P>0.05). Our findings showed that short anaerobic.
