title: [Effects of HiLo for two weeks on erythrocyte immune adhesion and leukocyte count of swimmers].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effects of living high-training low (HiLo) on innate immunity in blood of elite swimmers.
  
  
  METHODS
  Six female swimmers undertook HiLo for two weeks, erythrocyte adhesion function and counts of leukocyte were tested in different time of training period.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Red blood cell C3b receptor ring rate (RBC-C3bRR) decreased and red blood cell immune complex matter ring rate (RBC-ICR) increased significantly (P < 0.05), the two markers returned to base line 1 week after training. Counts of leukocyte and granulocyte decreased significantly (P < 0.05), and they recovered 1 week after training; Counts of lymphocyte and monocyte decreased without significance during training and did not recovered after training.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Immunity of erythrocyte and granulocyte decreased quickly, but lymphocyte and monocyte recovered slowly, swimmers were adaptive to the training.
