Influence of physical activity on the immune system in breast cancer patients during chemotherapy.

In this study, physical intervention with endurance or resistance training did not suppress cellular immunity any further. Larger multicenter trials are needed to evaluate the exact impact of sports intervention on immune cell subpopulations.
