title: The subacute effects of exercise: concept, characteristics, and clinical implications.
abstract: Physical exercise represents a physiological stress to the organism producing acute integrative physiological adjustments, whereas repetitive and regular sessions of physical effort provoke chronic physiological adaptations that develop throughout the weeks of training and increase exercise capacity. The present work presents and discusses the concept of subacute effects of exercise, those physiological responses occurring between single bouts of exercise.
