Características imunomodulatórias em atletas amputados do jiu-jitsu para desportivo de Barra do Garças

Abstract

Sports science addresses adapted physical activities and many areas related to them have been studied, but many topics still need to be scientifically researched, as well as immunological parameters in athletes from jiu-jitsu to sports. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of combat sports practice on the immunomodulation process and to provide quantitative estimates of marker changes in fighters of the modality. Three professional para-athletes with lower limb amputation participated in the study, male, adults, aged between 41 and 46 years, selected at the Grace Barra school, located in the city of Barra do Garças -MT. They attended the collection site only once. Initially, anthropometric data were collected, represented by measures of age, weight, height and BMI, and blood samples were collected before the fight protocol and right after the fight time. Neutrophils increased by 44.8% after exercise, while lymphocytes increased by 95.2% after exercise. Leukocytes increased by 60.5% after exercise. A change in lactate was observed with a 772% increase after exercise. As for cytokines, IL-1 reduced by 45.8%, IL-6 increased by 5%, TNFα reduced by 8.6% and IL-12 increased by 4%. The simulation of the fight triggered immunological changes in the face of the exercise performed. The data found in amputees are important and provide coaches with specific parameters, allowing for a good planning of training, techniques, recovery and improvement of practical conditions of competition, mainly demonstrated by the immune function of athletes of adapted sport.
