dc.description.abstractAim: The study was done to determine the levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and iron status of basketball players in Madonna University, Elele, Rivers State, Nigeria. Methods: A total number of 80 subjects were recruited for the study, comprising of 40 subjects before playing basketball (20 males and 20 females) and 40 subjects after playing basketball (20 males, 20 females) from Madonna University Nigeria, Elele Campus, Rivers State, Nigeria. The data obtained from the study were presented as Mean ± SD in tables and analysed using student t-test for parametric data using SPSS version 20. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results: A significant increase (p=0.002) was found in interleukin 6 (IL-6) after playing basketball compared to before playing basketball and no significant change (0.276) in iron after playing basketball compared to before playing basketball respectively. It was also observed that there was no significant increase (p=0.115) in interleukin 6 (IL-6) of males compared to females and no significant change in iron (p=0.770) of males compared to females respectively. There was no significant increase (p=0.115) in interleukin 6 (IL-6) of basketball players aged 15 to 25 years compared to basketball players aged 26 to 35 years and no significant change in iron (p=0.770) of basketball players aged 15 to 25 years compared to volleyball players aged 26 to 35 years respectively. Conclusions: The study showed increase in interleukin 6 (IL-6) of the basketball players after playing compared to the level before playing which shows that the physical activity increases the level of interleukin 6 and but has no effect on the iron level after basketball game
