Effect of physical exercise on the proliferation and inactivation capacity of biological immune cells
Abstract
Objective: Exploring the effects of sport on the proliferation and inactivation of biological immune cells. Method: Sixty college students enrolled in a university between 1 March 2023 and 1 June 2023 were selected for the experiment. A total of 30 subjects were screened based on exclusion and inclusion criteria. The 30 subjects were evaluated and categorized into three experimental groups: Low-intensity physical activity, high-intensity physical activity and no physical activity. The three groups were tested for a period of 10 weeks, and the changes in cell survival rate, proliferation and inactivation capacity of macrophages, t-lymphocytes and dendritic cells were analyzed in the three groups. Result: There was a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) in the pre- and post-experimental comparison of the different immune cells in the low-intensity physical exercise group. Only dendritic cell differentiation and survival rate were statistically significantly different in the pre- and post-experiment comparisons of high-intensity physical exercise (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Low-intensity physical exercise can significantly increase the proliferation and inactivation capacity of immune cells, which has a significant effect on the immune system of the organism.
