NEURAL NETWORK MODELING OF THE INFLUENCE OF SPORT ACTIVITY FACTORS ON THE FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY OF NEUTROPHILIC LEUKOCYTES

Abstract

The high exercise stress in sport causes decrease in immune cells reactivity. Changes of intensity of neutrophilic granulocytes «respiratory burst» due to the main operating factors of sports activity have not yet been investigated. The study included 96 male athletes (24.34 ± 3.54 y.o.), 59 female athletes (23.12 ± 2.3y.o.) and 53 healthy male non-athletes (23.17 ± 2.54 y.o.); 48 healthy female non-athletes (22.12 ± 3.01 y.o.) participated as control group. Two neural network predictor models for neutrophilic granulocytes functional activity were created. The average error of approximation was 2.77 % and 2.98 % for male and female respectively. In a series of virtual experiments, the effect of different approaches to the organization of training-competitive process was studied. We have found the conditions that should allow to avoid decompensation in the immune system in the end of the competition period.
