The effect of exercise on inflammatory markers in healthy adults
Summary:
Purpose: The aim of this study is to systematically review the effects of regular exercise on classic inflammatory mediators in healthy adults.

Methods: We conducted a thorough bibliographic search in six electronic databases (Pubmed, Scopus, Sportdiscus, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library) for the selection of randomized and non-randomized interventional trials, which compared at least one exercise intervention with a control condition in healthy adults, to test the effect of exercise on inflammatory mediators, such as CRP, IL-6, TNF-a, IL-1b.

Results: Forty-six original studies were finally included in the systematic review, some of which comprised more than one intervention arm. Most studies presented their results in a way that was suitable for the meta-analysis of the data. The conducted meta-analyses showed a significant reduction of CRP, IL-6 and TNF-a, but not IL-1b, after regular exercise. Subgroup analysis suggested that aerobic and interval exercise were the most beneficial types of exercise in reducing these inflammatory mediators.

Conclusion: Regular exercise results in a significant reduction of CRP, IL-6 and TNF-a in apparently healthy adults.
