To test the hypothesis that stress reducing techniques such as meditation alter immune responses after strenous physical stress.
The hypothesis was tested by studying six meditating and six non-meditating male runners in a concurrent, controlled design. After a period of six months with meditation for the experimental group, blood samples were taken immediately before and after a maximum oxygen uptake test (VO2max).
The increase in CD8+ T cells after VO2max was significantly less in the meditation group than in the control group (P = 0.04). The amount of CD2+ cells doubled after VO2max, mainly because of a rise in the CD8+ fraction.
Meditation may modify the suppressive influence of strenous physical stress on the immune system.
检验冥想等减压技巧能改变剧烈身体应激后免疫反应这一假设。
通过在同期对照设计中研究6名冥想男性跑步者和6名非冥想男性跑步者来检验该假设。实验组经过6个月的冥想后,在最大摄氧量测试(VO2max)前后立即采集血样。
VO2max后冥想组CD8 + T细胞的增加显著少于对照组(P = 0.04)。VO2max后CD2 +细胞数量翻倍,主要是由于CD8 +亚群增加。
冥想可能会改变剧烈身体应激对免疫系统的抑制作用。
