Is stretching an appropriate control for studies on exercise immunology in older adults? A systematic review.
Passive or active types of muscle stretching appears to be a suitable active control for exercise immunology studies in older populations. However, in populations with peripheral artery disease with stretching may affect the inflammatory profile, possibly due to a higher overall inflammatory status.
