Effects of regular physical activity on the immune system, vaccination and risk of community-acquired infectious disease in the general population (2021)
systematic review and meta-analysis
The results from this systematic review and meta-analysis reveal that regular physical activity increases resistance to infectious disease in the general population. Regular physical activity should be promoted in the general population to decrease the risk of community-acquired infection and infectious disease mortality, strengthen the potency of immunisation programmes and help lessen the impact of pandemics such as the recent COVID-19.
