Abstract EN
Failure in antimicrobial activity contributes to high morbidity and mortality in the geriatric population.
Little is known about the potential effect of resistance training (RT) on the functional properties of the innate immunity.
This study aimed to investigate the influence of long-term RT on the endocytic and oxidative activities of neutrophils and monocytes in healthy older women.
Our results indicate that the phagocytosis index (PhI) of neutrophils (but not of monocytes) in the RT-adapted group was significantly higher ( P < 0.001 ; effect size, ( d ) = 0.90, 95% CI: [0.75–1.04]) compared to that in sedentary subjects.
In contrast, the oxidative activity of either neutrophils or monocytes was not significantly influenced by RT.
Also, total energy and carbohydrate intake as well as serum IL6 levels had a significant influence on the phagocytic activity of neutrophils ( P = 0.04 ), being considered in the model.
Multivariate regression identified the physical condition of the subject ( β = 0.425 ; P = 0.01 ) as a significant predictor of PhI.
In conclusion, circulating neutrophils of older women adapted to a long-term RT program expressed higher phagocytic activity.
