Effects of athletic training on immune functions and results of immunity conditioning

By basing their experimental subjects on 14 high performance rowers, the authors observed the conditions of immune functions of the rowers by comparing them with those in the control group before winter training, the effects of athletic training on immune functions by comparing the rowers before and after two-month winter training, and the results of kinetic immune suppression conditioning by using traditional Chinese medicines, and revealed the following findings: before winter training, the main immune indexes of the rowers were significantly lower those of norm al people, and further lowered after two-month winter training, which indicated that the rowers engaging in high intensity athletic training could significantly suppress their immune functions; by taking immunity conditioning traditional Chinese medicines, the rowers significantly increased their immune indexes, which indicated that traditional Chinese medicines played a significant role in conditioning immune suppression.
