Exercise and Physiological Responses

Exercise and Physiological Responses is a research topic within Rehabilitation. Science Explorer counts 33k research works in it since 1950. 18.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the effects of exercise on inflammation, oxidative stress, and muscle damage. It investigates topics such as the role of muscle-derived interleukin-6, antioxidant supplementation, immune function, and the inflammatory response to exercise. Additionally, it delves into the mechanisms of exercise-induced oxidative stress and the impact of various recovery strategies on physical performance and muscle damage.
