Abstract

The importance of sports or physical exercise for a healthy life is indisputable. The benefits of regular exercise for a healthy life in terms of a person's physical and psychological well-being are a reality accepted by everyone today. This study aims to compile in detail the effects of regular exercise on the functions and functioning of cells in the immune system. Regular exercise causes various immunological, physiological, and anatomical reactions and changes in the human body. Although there are a variety of studies on the anatomical and physiological changes of regular exercise, the number of detailed studies on the immunological effects is very limited. Explanation of the molecular mechanism of the immunological effects of regular exercise on the human body has been one of the most interesting topics in recent years. The immune system is the system that makes the human body more resistant to many cardiovascular, neurological, and metabolic diseases and problems, especially infectious diseases. Regulating the functioning of this system will mean strengthening immunity. Regular exercise can regulate the functioning of a wide variety of immune mechanisms in the host. For this reason, one of the most important and easy ways to strengthen the immune system is to exercise regularly.

Egzersizin İmmunite Üzerindeki Etkisine Genel Bakış

Abstract

Sporun, fiziksel aktivitenin ve egzersizin sağlıklı yaşam için önemi tartışmasızdır. Sağlıklı yaşam için düzenli spor yapmanın kişinin fiziksel ve psikolojik refahı açısından faydası günümüzde herkes tarafından kabul edilen bir gerçekliktir. Bu çalışmada düzenli egzersiz yapmanın bağışıklık sistemindeki hücrelerin fonksiyonlarının ve çalışması üzerindeki etkinliklerinin detaylı olarak derlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Düzenli spor yapmak insan bedeninde çeşitli immunolojik, fizyolojik ve anatomik reaksiyonlara ve değişikliklere yol açmaktadır. Düzenli spor yapmanın anatomik ve fizyolojik değişimlerle ilgili olduğunu gösteren çeşitli çalışmalara rastlanabilse de immünolojik etkileri üzerinde detaylı çalışmaların sayısı oldukça sınırlıdır. Düzenli spor yapmanın insan vücudunda immunolojik etkinliklerinin moleküler mekanizmasının izahı son yıllarda ilgi çeken konuların başında gelmektedir. İmmun sistem insan vücudunu enfeksiyon hastalıkları başta olmak üzere, kardiyovasküler, nörolojik ve metabolik birçok hastalık ve probleme karşı da daha dirençli hale getiren sistemdir. Bu sistemin çalışmasını regüle etmek aynı zamanda immuniteyi güçlendirmek anlamına gelecektir. Düzenli egzersiz yapmak konaktaki çok çeşitli immun mekanzimanın çalışmasını regüle edebilmektedir. Bu sebeple bağışıklık sistemini güçlendirmenin en önemli ve kolay yollarından biri düzenli egzersiz yapmaktır.
