| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Over the past decade, numerous research studies have shown that the immune system’s capacity for creating antibodies after getting vaccinated is better in those who exercise are physically active. Authoritative studies show that exercise is an important ally of the vaccine, amplifying its effectiveness. The immune response to vaccines is usually lower in the elderly population. Several strategies have been used to help overcome this problem. Recently, studies in humans and animals have shown that exercise increases antigen-specific blood antibody levels following vaccination. Exercise has been considered as an effective way to improve vaccine response in the elderly population. In this chapter, we will discuss the effect of exercise on vaccine response. This study summarizes the current understanding of exercise and antibody production. In order to develop intervention strategies, it will be necessary to further elucidate the predisposing factors and mechanisms behind exercise induce antibody response.</p> |
