Summary
This completed study looked at how two different exercise programs affect the immune system in 20 healthy, active men aged 18-25. Participants did either high-intensity interval training or moderate-intensity continuous exercise for 12 weeks. Researchers measured changes in immune cells and markers before and after the program to see if one type of exercise was better for immune function.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help tailor exercise programs to boost immune function in healthy adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in only 20 healthy young men, so results may not apply to women, older adults, or people with health conditions.
