The aim of the research was to study the features of the immune status of skiers residing and practicing in the conditions of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Region-Yugra. The main group of subjects consisted of 12 young skiers born, living and practicing in the conditions of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Region (the age of the subjects ranged from 19 to 22 years). The control group consisted of 10 young people born and living in KhMAR-Yugra, not doing sports (the age ranged from 19 to 22 years). CD-typing of lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of the research subjects was performed and the level of leucocytes and the immunoglobulin concentration were determined. Methods of laser flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were applied. The values of the indicators presented in sets of reagents were used as reference values. It has been found that the indicators of cellular and humoral immunity of young skiers were on the average level between the norm (reference values for mid-latitudes) and indicators, characteristic for the region (the control group).

Keywords: immunity, skiers, climatic geographic conditions.
