Effects of 8 weeks of moderate physical training on body composition, lipid profile, inflammatory markers, and physical activity in middle aged females
The reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines aligns with the established anti-inflammatory benefits of regular exercise, contributing to the lower risk of chronic disease. However, the simultaneous decrease in anti-inflammatory cytokines suggests a complex and potentially age-specific immune adaptation to moderate training. Further investigation is warranted to clarify the implications of these immune responses and to refine exercise recommendations for optimal metabolic and immune health in these middle-aged females.
