Does exercise intensity affect the frequency of respiratory tract infections and immunologic function?
Does exercise intensity affect the frequency of respiratory tract infections and immunologic function?
Moderate exercise may protect against respiratory infections, whereas exhaustive exercise may increase susceptibility, though definitive immunologic evidence is currently lacking.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May guide moderate exercise counseling to potentially lower infection risk; leaves open immunologic mechanisms and needs prospective trials.
Calabrese et al. (1996) studied this question.
