Immunology & Immune System
Exercise has a signifi cant effect on the regulation of the immune system. Acute bouts of exercise induce an intensity-dependent leukocytosis, followed by redistribution of e ector cells into peripheral tissues. ese processes are a result of the activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the h...
