Abstract
A bout of resistance exercise did not elicit the same T-cell responses as a bout of walking on a treadmill, and the response was also not the same for people who participate in regular exercise compared with those who do not. Although there were several similarities, these potential differences underscore the importance of careful selection of exercise protocol based on the population studied and the desired T-cell response to exercise outcome.
