Popis: Background: During karate fight muscles work at a very high intensity, and their contractions are extremely strong. The movement pattern contains a great number of feints, dodges, frequent changes in movements' tempo and direction, hits and kicks, all of which is highly stressful for athlete's organism, including the immune system. Methods: T lymphocyte subsets' distribution and selected cytokines in peripheral blood of three elite karate athletes aged 30 years old (range 21-31 years) with minimum 15 years of training experience were analysed in two experiments: at the beginning of the preparatory phase (a progressive test until exhaustion; an analysis of immune system's selected parameters and cardiorespiratory fitness measures, including VO2MAX, VE, at, MVV, MET, Rf), and during the start-up period (Karate Championships; an analysis of selected parameters of the immune system). Results: Maximal effort caused an increase in total lymphocyte percentage (p
