Article Synopsis
- Regular endurance training may enhance immune responses in the respiratory tract compared to a sedentary lifestyle, especially after exposure to particulate matter (PM).
- The study analyzed nasal lavage fluid and other immune markers in street runners and sedentary individuals after both acute and chronic PM exposure.
- Results showed that runners had healthier immune responses, indicated by lower inflammatory markers and higher protective factors, aligning with a Th1 immune response, while sedentary individuals showed a Th2 pattern associated with increased inflammation.
