Background: Heat shock proteins (HSP) are from proteins family playing crucial role in maintaining cellular hemostats and protecting cells in an acute and chronic stressful conditions. The object of this study is to investigate the alternation of heat shock proteins (HSP70) levels after Wingate and Strand tests in female students.

Materials and Methods: In this semi- experimental study, 40 female (20 athletics and 20 non-athletics) with the mean age 22.3±3 & 23.2±2, Height 159.2±5 & 161.2±4 cm and mean weight of 59.3±3 & 65.4±2 kg (respectively) were selected randomly and underwent training protocols of Wingate and Strand tests with 3 days intervals. 5 cc brachial vein blood samples were taken immediately before and after performing tests in order to analyze the data using repeated measure method.

Results: The findings showed significant increase after aerobic Strand test between athletics and non-athletics Female (p<0.01). But, after aerobic Wingate test, a significant increased was observed only in Athletes' group (p>0.05). But there was an insignificant reduction in non-athlete group.

Conclusion: The results showed that exercise duration is more important than exercise intensity in HSP70 production.
