Abstract
Objective : The objective of this study was
to show the variations induced by the football match on immune cells and
C-reactive protein in active students. Methodology : 22
footballers participated in the study including 11 players from L1 EPS and 11
from L1 Sport. Immune cells and C-reactive protein were measured before,
immediately after and 2 hours after the football match. Friedman and Wilcoxon
non-parametric statistical tests were used. Results :
Significant variations in leukocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils were observed
in GR and GNR subjects recorded before, after and 2 hours after exercise, while
lymphocytes and monocytes significantly varied only in GR subjects. In
addition, a significant post-exercise decrease in CRP was observed in GNR
subjects. Conclusion : The football match strongly influenced
the expression of immune cells and CRP, given these results, our hypothesis was
validated.
