LITTLE EXERCISE:
Increase in BMI- energy intake is greater than energy
expenditure. REF. ENERGY BUDGETS (UNIT 2)
EXCESSIVE EXERCISE:
Increase in respiratory tract infections (flu, sore throat) this
suppresses the immune system. Exercise will lower the cell count
T killer, T helper and phagocytes and B cells and the decrease
causes:
Reduced T killer cells cause a decrease in the ability to
fight intracellular pathogens such as viruses.
Phagocytes- decreased processing in antigens.
B cells- less antibody production and secondary immune
system declines.
T helper cells- antibody production decreases-less
cytokines. Reduction in inflammation.
