Abstract

Aim: of current study is to identify the impact of zinc supplementation on the 
Protein immune and Indices of infections at rest and after effort among Students of 
the College of Physical Education, section of sport Training and Movement Sciences , 
major in track and field.
Methodology: The researchers followed the experimental method on an 
intended sample. A total of (9) Students of the College of Physical Education, section 
of sport Training and Movement Sciences, major in track and field. in the study. All 
were aged between (20) and (22). The anthropometric measurements used included 
weight (kg), height (cm). In order to determine the body mass index (BMI), the 
calculation was based on height and weight (kg/m).four blood -report tests were used 
in current study (before in rest and following exercise, then after test in rest and 
following exercise )to determine the Protein immune( IgG, IgM, IgA) and Indices of 
infection(CRP) of blood levels. For 24 weeks, a zinc gluconate supplement (76 mg 
tablet) was taken one hour before the practical lecture.
Statistics: Analysis of the data was done using SPSS Version 25 to determine 
the (Arithmetic mean, Standard deviation, Median, Coefficient of Skewness, 
Coefficient of Kurtosis).In addition paired samples T test was used to analyze the 
differences between pre- and post measurements. The percentage of improvement , 
the effect size according to Cohen's D equations and the effect size according to Eta 
square were calculated.
Results: The study finds that Zinc supplement reduces inflammatory 
indications because it improves anti-proteins among athletes. The result reveals that 
the effect of taking zinc supplement is high on the measures under investigation 
except for (IgG before the effort).
Conclusion: Zinc supplementation reduced inflammatory markers and 
improved immune proteins, according to the findings. All biochemical parameters 
were significantly affected by taking zinc supplementation, with the exception of (IgG 
before physical activity), which was average.
