What effect does exercise have on the immune system?

Immune Function

For years immune system studies have touted fitness as an immune booster, but that's not the whole story. It works this way. Imagine exercise and immunity on a health and fitness bell curve. Too little exercise and you will not have optimum immune function. Moderate exercise enhances immune function and too much exercise--overtraining-- can suppress immune function, at least temporarily.
