Russia (bbabo.net), - 90 minutes of low-intensity exercise immediately after a COVID-19 or flu shot can boost the body's immune response. This conclusion was made by American researchers from the University of Iowa.

Thus, those study participants who rode a bicycle, exercise bike or just walked in the fresh air within an hour and a half after vaccination produced more antibodies in the next four weeks than people who did not engage in physical activity after vaccination. It is interesting that a shorter training session did not affect the release of antibodies.

The researchers concluded that exercise increases blood and lymph flow, which promotes immune cell circulation and antibody production. This hypothesis was confirmed by an additional experiment on mice. When they were forced to actively move, a type of protein was produced in their body, for example, alpha-interferon, which contributes to the production of virus-specific antibodies and T cells. They provide recognition and destruction of foreign cells.
