Comparison of the Effect of Six Weeks of Continuous and IntervalTraining on Some Indicators of Immune System in Healthy Non-Athlete Males

The immune system is one of the most important systems in the health setting that influenced by several factors. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of six weeks of continuous and interval training on some indicators of immune system in healthy non-athlete males.
Subjects and Among all healthy non-athlete male students of Islamic Azad University of Ahvaz branch, 30 students were selected by randomly sampling style and divided into two groups of 15 persons (continuous and intervaltraining groups). Anthropometry indicators, body mass index, and aerobic capacity (Vo2max) were evaluated at the first session. Interval training group performed of five periods 3-minute exercises on a cycle ergometer with 80% VO2max of intensity and continuous training consisting of a 30-minute of continuous trainingon a cycle ergometer with 60% VO2max of intensity for 6 weeks(Three times a week) . Blood sample were taken before and 24 hr after training to analysis indicators of immune system.
Data analysis indicated that a significant difference was found between number of neutrophils in two groups (P 0.05).
According to this results, can be concluded that, Whereas significant decrease or increase the number of leukocytes may create risks of inflammation or infection, therefore the training can effect in health of immune and cardiovascular system by maintain the immune function indicators.
