Human ultra-weak photon emission (UPE) is related to the activity of respiratory chain and oxygen consumption. Investigations on UPE and its response to exercise are almost non existent. Since human UPE is an indicator of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, we used exercises as a model to study UPE. To continue the research on the relationship between human UPE and exercise, it was decided to carry out measurements of UPE in response to different exercise modes with 20 healthy male subjects. The performed exercises were wrist curls with a dumbbell and indoor cycling. Regarding wrist curl exercises, 70% of the subjects for the first exercise and 65% for the second exercise did not show any significant changes in UPE. Also, the statistical analysis did not show significant changes of the UPE levels. In terms of cycling exercise, 85% of subjects did not show any significant increase of UPE. The gathered data showed that a majority of the subjects didn't show an increase of the UPE during both types of exercises. Our results imply that the UPE is not only affected by oxygen consumption, but also by the intensity, the type of exercise, and the physiology of the subject.
人体超微弱光子发射（UPE）与呼吸链活性和氧消耗有关。关于UPE及其对运动反应的研究几乎不存在。由于人体UPE是活性氧（ROS）水平的指标，我们以运动为模型来研究UPE。为了继续研究人体UPE与运动之间的关系，决定对20名健康男性受试者进行不同运动模式下UPE的测量。所进行的运动是哑铃腕弯举和室内骑行。对于腕弯举运动，第一次运动70%的受试者和第二次运动65%的受试者UPE未显示任何显著变化。此外，统计分析也未显示UPE水平有显著变化。就骑行运动而言，85%的受试者UPE未显示任何显著增加。收集的数据表明，大多数受试者在两种运动中UPE均未增加。我们的结果表明，UPE不仅受氧消耗影响，还受运动强度、运动类型和受试者生理状态影响。
