“…Research by Kader (2010) states that an increase in the immune system response by increasing levels of NK (natural killer), neutrophils and lymphocytes [9]. Free radicals are formed during sub-maximal physical exercise due to the release of superoxide electrons from the mitochondria and an increase in excess oxygen consumption [10].…”

Physical exercise with heavy and tiring intensity can cause the formation of free radicals and the potential for oxidative stress. This oxidative stress due to strenuous and exhausting physical exercise is a physiological process that can cause the immune system to become depressed or decrease immune function. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sports massage to prevent decreased immunity after sub maximal physical exercise. The study design was an experimental pre and post test group design. The subjects were 20 students from the Department of Sport Science, Universitas Negeri Medan, randomly divided into 2 groups, group 1: given submaximal physical exercise and without sports massage; Group 2: sub-maximal physical exercise and given a sports massage. The results showed that the values of leukocytes and lymphocytes in the sub-maximal exercise group given sports massage were lower than the sub-maximal physical exercise group and without sports massage (p <0.05). Sub maximal physical exercise accompanied by sports massage can prevent a decrease in immunity.
