Response of some immune variables and malondialdehyde concentration in the blood after aerobic effort in overweight people

Abstract

Abstract

The research aims to identify:

1- Response of some immune variables and malondialdehyde concentration in the blood after aerobic effort in overweight people

The researcher used the descriptive approach because it is related to the nature of the problem. The research sample was chosen intentionally from males participating in sports halls in Erbil Governorate. The researcher was able to obtain (20) participants on a voluntary basis, representing overweight according to the (BMI) law, and with ages ranging between ( (22-28) years old, and they were subjected to a 12-minute running and walking test, then blood samples were drawn twice, once at rest (before the aerobic effort) and once after (the aerobic effort test), and the volume of blood drawn each time was (10 milliliters) for each individual. From the sample members, (3) milliliters of drawn blood were placed in a sterile tube with a cap and containing the anticoagulant EDTA. This blood was used to measure the total and differential number of white blood cells, and the remaining part of the drawn blood (7) milliliters was placed in a sterile tube with a cap. (Gel & Clot Activator) and leave it until it clots at room temperature, then put it inside the centrifuge and start spinning at a speed of 3000 rpm for 10-15 minutes to obtain the blood serum. It was concluded:

 Aerobic stress had clear effects, and had a significant impact on each of the variables (the total number of white blood cells, neutrophil cells, lymphocytes, basophil cells, eosinophils, and mononuclear cells).

 Aerobic stress had a significant effect on the malondialdehyde (MDA) variable.
