The Current State of Exercise-Induced Lymphocyte Apoptosis

James W. Navalta and Jonato Prestes

Research into the area of exercise-induced lymphocyte apoptosis is a relatively new field of interest. The number of published manuscripts in PubMed peaked in the year 2005 and has been declining in recent years. Possible reasons for this decrease may be a lack of perceived relevance and some investigations that have questioned whether the phenomenon occurs. We proposed that continued study should be focused toward this issue as improvement in technology may allow for more sensitive measurement in the future. Finally, it is possible that this line of research may provide a mechanistic link between the benefits of exercise and a reduction in many chronic diseases that have been observed.
