Some Immunophysiological Features of Sport Activity in the Climatic and Geographical Conditions of the Middle Ob Region

We analyzed the cellular and humoral.components of immune system in athletes who were born, lived and trained in the conditions of the Middle Ob Region (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Ugra).

Summary:We analyzed the cellular and humoral.components of immune system in athletes who were born, lived and trained in the conditions of the Middle Ob Region (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Ugra). The main group included young males and females engaged in cross country skiing (12 males, 10 females) and volleyball (11 males, 10 females). The control group (normal inhabitants of the region) consisted of 10 males and 10 females who were born and currently live in. KMAO-Ugra and do not do any sports on a regular basis. The age of subjects ranged from 19 to 22 years. It was found that the indices of cell and humoral components of immune system differed slightly between young women in the control and main groups. As for men, a significant decrease in total leukocyte, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts were observed; a decrease in the parameters of humoral immunity (b-lymphocytes and IgA) was also observed in male skiers. It was found that the total leukocyte count, the level of B-lymphocytes and the concentration of IgG in men who live in the Middle Ob region and do not do any sports is higher than in women of the same group.
