摘要：Purpose: Training activities and altitude cause some of changes in the physiological adaptations and also athletic
functionality. The purpose of this study was the effect of altitude and progressive exercise activity on the
profile of testosterone changes and Some of immunity markers in active student basketball team.
Material: As to subjects this survey, 36 active male students with an average age of (19.5± 0.83) were selected from 36
athletes with a maximum rate of oxygen uptake of about (VO2max=58.66± 2.9). The subjects, who were tested
in the sea level f and post IAE (8 of periodical ascending to the height of 2800 meters for 3 days), were then
asked on cycle ergometer (starting with 100 watts, increasing 25 watts every 3 minutes, with the work-torest
ratio of 3 to 1) to exhaustion. The initial blood sampling of the subjects was done 72 hours before the
main test to determine the similar conditions of the subjects, and to measure the initial level of Testosterone
hormone, lymphocytes and neutrophiles, in the sea level. Also, the blood sampling of both after and before
the progressive exercise activity and the IAE stage were done. The serumal concentration of testosterone was
measured via Elisa method and the amounts of lymphocytes and neutrophiles were determined using CellCounter
set. For statistical analysis, using the tests of Kolmogorov and Smirnov, repeated measurements were
done in the level of (p≤0.05). The complete process of analyzing the result was done through the software
SPSS22.
Results: The outcomes of the present survey show the amount of lymphocytes and neutrophiles after a session of
progressive exercise activity have had a meaningful increase (p<0.05). But, the increase rate of testosterone
was not meaningful difference (p>0.05). Testosterone, lymphocytes and neutrophiles showed a meaningful
increase after progressive exercise activity in IAE conditions (p<0.05). Also, the amounts of Testosterone,
lymphocytes and neutrophiles, before IAE has not shown a meaningful rise, when compared to sea level
conditions (p>0.05).
Conclusions: It seems that, even though these changes were not meaningful, they were effective in reducing both the
functionality of the subjects and the exhaustion duration.
