Abstract

The emerging research field of exercise immunology is becoming an essential sub-discipline of exercise medicine. Many studies have revealed a strong association between physical exercise and human immune system function. Moderate daily exercise can enhance general immunity whereas individuals deficient in exercise or engaged in heavy training tend to be more liable to infection. This review summarizes the effects of long-term moderate and heavy exercise on the immune system, and the general mechanisms of the immune response to physical activity and the biomedical changes of the exercise-immune relationship are illustrated in detail. Nutritional influences on exercise and exercise-induced immune dysfunction are also summarized. Together with advanced informatics technologies, the challenges and future directions of exercise immunology are also discussed.
