Human Natural Killer Cell Subsets and Acute Exercise: A Brief Review

15 Jul 2026

Abstract excerpt

Natural killer (NK) cells are the most responsive immune cell to acute exercise. This sensitivity to physiological stress combined with their role in innate immune defences suggests that these cells may be a link between regular physical activity and overall health status. NK cells are a heterogeneous population consisting of at least two distinct subsets based on the expression intensity of CD56. CD56(bright)...
