Mucosal IgA and URTI in American college football players: A year longitudinal studies

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on college football players over a period of one year for determining the secretory immunoglobulin A (s-IgA) during that period and for assessing the most commonly used standard methods of reporting s-IgA, serves as the best indicator of occurrences of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). It was found that decrease in s-IgA and secretion rate of s-IgA and the increase in the incidences of URTI could be attributed to a season of training in American football players.

Effect of vibration training in maximal effort (70% 1RM) dynamic bicep curls

Article Abstract:

The acute effect of direct vibration on the neuromuscular performance with a maximal-effort dynamic resistance exercise, which consists of three sets of maximal-effort bicep curls with a load of 70% 1RM (repetition maximum), is studied. Analysis proves that direct vibration applied to the bicep muscle tendon does not enhance the neuromuscular performance in maximal-effort contractions during or after training.

Effects of ginsend on secretory IgA, performance, and recovery from interval exercise

Article Abstract:

Research findings do not corroborate ginseng's effect on mucosal immunity as suggested by changes in secretory immunoglobulin A at rest and after an exercise induced homeostatic disturbance. Furthermore, the physical performance and heart rate recovery are not improved by the ginseng in subjects undergoing exhausting exercise repeatedly.
