Effects of a Warm-up on Immune Response to Exercise
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Physiological and Psychological Responses to Exercise
In brief
This randomized cross-over study compares two identical cardiorespiratory exercise bouts, differing only in the inclusion or exclusion of a dynamic period of increasing exercise intensity prior to the exercise bout. Planned comparisons include physiological responses and perceived effort during exercise, leukocyte mobilization, and mood between the two exercise sessions.
