Abstract
It has been suggested that the immunological responses to exercise are a subset of the physical stress reactions that characterize surgery, thermal and traumatic injury, haemorrhagic shock and acute myocardial infarction (1). Therefore, acute exercise can be viewed as a prototype for studying the effects of physical factors on the immune system (2).
