Exercise Immunology: Edition 2
Учкай маалымат
In addition to introducing the immune system and summarising how different forms of exercise affect the characteristics and functioning of the immune system, this new and fully revised edition will explore exercise immunology in the context of immune ageing, cancer, autoimmune diseases and cardiometabolic disease. In addition, the authors discuss other factors that impact immune health, such as nutrition and environmental stressors, and explain the physiological basis of how exercise changes immune function across the healthspan and lifespan.
This book is written by leading exercise immunologists and is structured to provide a suggested curriculum of an exercise immunology degree component. Every chapter includes summaries of current and up‐to‐date research and offers practical guidelines to translate laboratory‐based information into clinical settings. This textbook is essential for any exercise immunology degree component or advanced exercise physiology degree and will be vital reading for students in exercise and biological sciences and clinicians and researchers interested in the therapeutic applications of exercise.

James E. Turner, PhD is an Associate Professor in the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Birmingham (United Kingdom). The research James leads explores the interaction between lifestyle and mechanisms of ageing and disease, spanning two themes: overweight/obesity and immune system ageing (with a focus on adipose tissue immunology) and physical activity and cancer immunology (with a focus on factors that influence treatment outcomes).
Guillaume Spielmann, PhD is an Associate Professor of Exercise Immunology at Louisiana State University (United States). Guillaume’s research focuses on the impact of exercise on immune ageing and chronic disease risks including cancer and Type 2 diabetes. He is a member of several sport science societies worldwide, including the International Society of Exercise Immunology and the American College of Sports Medicine.
John P. Campbell, PhD is a senior lecturer (Associate Professor) in the Department for Health at the University of Bath (United Kingdom) and John has an adjunct position at the Exercise Medicine Research Institute at Edith Cowan University (Australia). John’s principal area of research is understanding how exercise alters anti‐cancer immunity, and John also conducts research in cancer immunodiagnostics.
