Appearances of Physical Fatigues after Training in Adult Female Judoists—Examination from Serum Myogenic Enzymes and Immune Functions—

Objective: We examined the symptoms of over-reaching caused by transient judo training in the female judoists from the muscle damage and the immune functions. We examined the possibility of the application of the phototherapy to recovering the over-reaching by transient training from the results of previous studies on phototherapy and exercise. Methods: The subjects of this study were nine of the adult female judoists. The subjects conducted the judo training of 2 hours 30 minutes as transient training. The investigation items were the body compositions, blood biochemistries, neutrophil functions, antioxidant functions. We measured these items before and after the training. Results and discussion: The transient training carried out by our subjects resulted in muscle damage, increased stress and inflammatory response, partly reduced immune function, increased the reactive oxygen species production. Previous studies related to phototherapy and exercise suggested that the phototherapy may be effective for recovery of these symptoms related to over-reaching after the training.
