Exercise, stress, and the immune conversation.
The role of exercise in meaningful alterations in immune function is unclear. The recent demonstration that stress proteins are potent modulators of immune cell activation and cytokine production, coupled with the role of exercise in stress protein production, suggest that exercise-associated alterations in immune function may be related to exercise associated alterations in the cellular stress response.
