The purpose of the present study was to recognize the effects of varied tapering strategies on the immune response of endurance athletes in some selected training centers of Ethiopia. Thirty-seven young distance runners (mean age: 20 ± 1.97 years; mean training age: 2.43 ± .603 years) were randomly assigned to the high intensity-low volume (HILV) and high intensity-moderate volume (HIMV) taper groups. Training frequencies were five times per week and conducted for two weeks in both groups. Before and after the two weeks of taper intervention, the average lymphocyte concentration of the participant was measured and analyzed using CBC (sysmix) machine. There was no statistically significant difference in both within and between groups analyzed using the paired t-test and ANCOVA. In conclusion, the finding revealed that both the HILV and HIMV tapering strategies don’t have an influence on the immune response.  Possible flue or cold that challenges the athletes during the pre-competitions period might not relate to the taper training load, instead, the psychological stress that occurs as a result of approaching the competition time may have a negative immune response which demands consideration in the future research focuses.
