Preferred term

exercise immunology: mechanisms of action  

Definition

  • Over the past 20 years a variety of studies have demonstrated that exercise induces considerable changes in circulating leukocyte subpopulations and systemic levels of cytokines. The interactions between exercise stress and the immune system provide a unique opportunity to link basic and clinical physiology and to evaluate the role of immunophysiological mechanisms.
