This unique reference describes the science and application of exercise immunology, providing an excellent source of expert information for researchers, students, and practitioners.
The impact of exercise on immune function in dieters, in combination with alcohol use, and in the elderly are addressed, and up-to-date reviews on the relationships between exercise and the risk of disease are provided.
