Low-intensity swimming training partially inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury.

Background: Aerobic exercise decreases pulmonary inflammation and remodeling in experimental models of allergic asthma. However, the effects of aerobic exercise on pulmonary inflammation of nonallergic origin, such as in experimental models of acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), have not been evaluated.

Objective: The present study evaluated the effects of aerobic exercise in a model of LPS-induced acute lung injury.
