Abstract Investigate the effect of resistive exercise on immunological properties of breast milk. 30 breast feeding anemic lactating women were selected from the outpatient clinic of obstetrics and gynecology of Kasr Alainy hospital, Cairo university to participate in this study, their ages range from 20 to 35 years old and their body mass index was < 30 kg /m². They were assigned randomly into two groups equal in number. group (A) (study group) were treated through a program resistive exercise for 45 minutes 3 times/week for 4 weeks and was instructed to eat diet rich in iron (80-100 mg/day) in addition to iron supplementation at least (10-15) mg daily, whereas, group (B) (control group) were only instructed to eat diet rich in iron (80-100 mg/day) in addition to iron supplementation at least (10-15) mg daily as in group (A). There were significant differences regarding the secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA), lactoferrin, lysozyme concentration in the breast milk. There was significant difference in improvement in the secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA), lactoferrin, lysozyme concentration in the breast milk. Moderate resistive exercise has emerged as an approach that leads to positive outcomes in addressing breast feeding anemic lactating women. So, Moderate resistive exercise is a necessary adjunct to improve immunological properties of breast milk |
