Abstract
Many questions are still reaming about the mechanism by which regular moderate training to the magnitude of the specific immune response. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of regular moderate training on specific immune response in human body.
A less air polluted zone of Burdwan, West Bengal, India was selected for this study. Total 32 male subjects chosen out of which 18 subjects (mean age 25 ± 2.06 years) treated as regular habit of Moderately Trained (MT) group and 14 subjects (mean age 22.5 ± 1.79 years) were act as Sedentary Control (SC) group from the same area. Specific immune variables such as Immunoglobulin G (IgG), CD4 (Helper T cells) percentage, CD4/CD8 ratio, Albumin and Albumin Globulin ratio were examined. Mean, SD and independent ‘t’ test were used for statistical analysis by using IBM SPSS 20.0 version software.
The higher mean were observed in MT group compared to SC group in all specific immune variables although there was no significant difference found between both groups.
Regular moderate training habit may be increased in modulating the specific Immune response which is a possible biologic efficiency to foster the defense against disease on human health.
