Abstract

The aim of this research is to find out the influence on immune function(a white blood cell subset, immunity globulin) and inflammatory Cytokine (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) based on Judo masters` weight loss in short-term & long-term. 8 Judo master-subjects had gone through weight loss to the 5% of original body weight in short term(for 5 days) afterward, in long term(for 14 days) for this research. Diet and exercise were performed in order to the weight loss. It revealed that body water, percent body fat, body fat mass, fat free mass, BMI got reduced meaningfully after the weight loss in short term(for 5 days) (p.001) and the rest of variables except for percent body fat got reduced meaningfully after the diet in long term(for 14days). There was a meaningful difference in body water, percent body fat, body fat mass, fat free mass, BMI(p001) between two groups. There was no meaningful change of white blood cell subset(neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte,) in case of immune function in the short & long term weight loss, but there was a meaningful increase in IgA in the long term diet even though there was no change of immunity globulin(IgA, IgG, IgM) in the short term diet. There was a meaningful difference in IgA, IgG, IgM in case of inter groups. In case of inflammatory Cytokine, there was no meaningful difference in IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α based on the result of intra groups and inter groups after the short & long term weight loss. In result, it revealed that short & long term weight loss resulted in the decline of bodily composition, the partial change in immunity globulin(IgA) and no change in immune function & inflammatory cytokine. Considering the change of the decrease in immune function and the increase in inflammatory cytokine, it would be possible to provoke the inflammation and the decrease of immune function with the continuous short term weight loss.
