This study included 16 female medically healthy college student volunteers who were enrolled at S University in S City. The subjects were divided into an exercise group (n=8) and a control group (n=8) for analysis of the effects of 10 weeks of dance sports exercise on immunoglobulin. Our findings are described below. Analysis of immunoglobulin levels before and after the dance sports exercise showed a significant difference in immunoglobulin A levels over time (p<.01**), no significant intergroup difference, but a significant time–group interaction effect (p<.02*). Immunoglobulin M levels differed significantly over time (p<.02*), did not differ significantly between groups, and demonstrated a significant time–group interaction effect (p<.01**). Immunoglobulin G levels did not differ significantly over time; however, a t-test comparing pre- and post-exercise within the exercise group revealed a significant difference (p<.04*). No significant intergroup difference was noted, but a significant time–group interaction effect was observed (p<.04*). These results confirmed that a dance sports exercise program positively affected the immunoglobulin of female college students. Continuous dance sports exercise programs are considered effective for health management, and future studies should extend the exercise period and appropriately control the female hormone cycle to deepen our understanding of these issues.
