The mean on the sum of leukocytes increased in the treatment group compared to the control group. The Mann Whitney test showed that the sum of leukocytes in the control group was significantly different from the treatment group with a value of p = 0. <0.

Effect of Strenuous Physical Activity A. | 2 INTRODUCTION Physical activity is part of the body's metabolic processes that produce free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Strenuous physical activity to fatigue will be an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the body's antioxidant defense system known as oxidative stress. (Harahap & Pahutar, 2. Oxidative stress results in tissue damage that can result in an increase in the sum of leukocytes in maintaining the condition of the immune system. (Goleman. Daniel. Boyatzis. Richard. Mckee, 2. An international athlete is taken very seriously in the face of the game. The standard training program is arranged 5-6 times a week, sometimes also having to do morning and afternoon exercises while in the training center. Strenuous physical activity will lead to suppression of immunity function in athletes so that it will be easier to experience (Hayati, 2. Previous research found 33% of 140 marathon runners suffer from an upper airway infection after a match, while the incidence of infection at control is only 15%. The incidence of airway infections in marathon runners apparently increased sixfold after the game. (Harahap & Pahutar, 2. Other research has also shown that exercise with heavy intensity also increases the mobilization of neutrophils and monocytes in (Hayati, 2. Excessive oxygen consumption in strenuous physical activity causes complex reactions in the body and results in free radical (Sinaga, 2. All free radicals from such oxygen very quickly damage the tissues. One of them is tissue damage that results in leukocytes hissing into the damaged tissue which then affects the damaged tissue so that mobility of the number of leukocytes in the blood increases. (Salwati, 2. Physical activity is a movement of the limbs that causes energy expenditure that is important for the maintenance of physical, mental health and maintaining the immune system in the body. Heavy physical activity can trigger an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the body's antioxidant defense system known as oxidative stress. (Rahman, 2. Oxidative stress is often associated with tissue damage that triggers inflammatory This inflammation will give rise to an inflammatory response in the body to inflamed The inflammatory response results in the onsanity of leukocytosis or an increase in the number of leukocytes to boost the immune system in maintaining the condition of the Leukocytosis is seen as a marker of inflammatory activity. Leukocytes are blood cells that play a role in the body's defense system from attacks of foreign substances and abnormal cells. (R. Nawawi. Fitriani. Rusli, 2. Maximum weight gain during physical training or severe fatigue was found to be a change in the sum of leukocytes in the blood bank, which is thought to be the cause of the increased incidence of airway infections, due to the suppression of immunity function, resulting in a decrease in the appearance of athletes. METHODS This research uses laboratory experimental with posttest only control group design Samples are obtained by allocating groups based on random sampling allocation. Male mice strain wistar as many as 10 tails that are 8 weeks old, weighing 150-200 grams adapted for 7 days then divided into 2 . groups namely the control group and treatment The control group was not given heavy physical activity and the treatment group was given the strongest physical activity in the form of a swimming pool until it nearly sank for about 30 minutes for 27 days. An examination of the number of leukocytes carried out on the 28th day was carried out at Integrated Biomedical Laboratory (IBL) faculty of medicine UNISSULA. The study sampled 0. ml mouse blood taken from the orbital sinuses then mixed with EDTA 10% as much as 5 microns examined with Haematology Analyser. The average leukocytes level data is presented descriptively in the form of a table. Then the data in the normality test with the Shapiro Wilk test and the data homogeneity test with the Levene test. The distribution of data on the number of leukocytes obtained is abnormal and homogeneous, so continued with the nonparametric test of the Kruskal Wallis p<0. test followed by a two-group non-parametric 3 | Jurnal Litbang Edusaintech.

Difference in the sum of leukocytes between Groups Group p-value Control vs. Treatment Mann whitney test results in table 2. indicates the number of leukocytes in the control group (K) there was a significant difference to the first treatment group (P. =0. Based on the above data, it can be concluded that heavy physical activity has a significant effect on the increase in the sum of leukocytes in male mice of the wistar strain. Discussion The increase in the sum of leukocytes in the sample is due to the movement of strenuous physical activity so that the body experiences fatigue which then consumes excessive oxygen which can result in a high number of leukocytes (Arulselvan et al. , 2. In physiological conditions, free radicals form 5% of oxygen consumption and can be neutralized by antioxidants in the body. However, if the rate of free radical formation increases by more than 5% due to being triggered by heavy and exhausting physical activity, then the capacity of antioxidant defense systems cannot neutralize these excess free radicals. This imbalance can cause oxidative stress and stimulate leukocyte cell activity. (Khoirurohmah. Pusputasari, & IsroAoaini, 2. Excessive oxygen consumption in heavy physical activity causes complex reactions in the body and results in free radical All free radicals from such oxygen very quickly damage the tissues. One of them is tissue damage that results in leukocytes hissing into the damaged tissue which then affects the damaged tissue so that mobility of the number of leukocytes in the blood increases. (Salwati. CONCLUSION This study can be concluded that strenuous physical activity can increase significantly against the number of leukocytes.
