Abstract

This research aims to identify the effect of moderate and high-intensity physical training on the immunoglobulin G (IgG) response to physical stress and competition in taekwondo athletes, to identify the effect of competition duration on the IgG response to physical stress and competition in taekwondo athletes, and to study the differences between the effect of moderate and high-intensity physical training and competition duration on IgG levels in taekwondo athletes.

The researchers used a single-group experimental design with pre- and post-testing. The research sample, consisting of ten players from the North Gas Taekwondo Club team, was selected purposively. After collecting the data through the specified measurements, it was statistically analyzed. A number of conclusions were reached: high-intensity physical training has an effect on increasing immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels, comparable to the effect of competitive training in taekwondo players. A significant increase in IgG levels was observed as a result of competitive training, exceeding the effect of moderate-intensity training. Among the most important recommendations reached by the researchers are: regulating high-intensity training loads, which have an effect on increasing IgG levels; evaluating and developing training programs and planning physical conditioning for taekwondo players; and the necessity of considering measurements of the immune system, particularly IgG levels, in monitoring and evaluating the health and physiological status of taekwondo players and those participating in similar sports and activities with comparable energy production systems.
