| Abstract |
| :Abstract The immune system serves as the body’s primary line of defense against pathogens and diseases, playing a crucial role in maintaining overall health and reducing the risk of chronic conditions, particularly cardiovascular diseases. Numerous scientific studies have shown that regular physical activity, especially aerobic exercise, can enhance immune function, decrease chronic inflammation, regulate oxidative stress, and promote cardiovascular health. Individuals at risk of cardiovascular diseases often exhibit weakened immune responses, elevated inflammatory markers, and hormonal imbalances, all of which contribute to an increased risk of heart disease. A review of previous studies and physiological mechanisms indicates that moderate-intensity exercise can boost immune cell activity, reduce C-reactive protein levels, and regulate hormones such as cortisol. However, high-intensity and prolonged exercise may have adverse effects on immune system function. Therefore, designing exercise programs with appropriate intensity and duration for individuals prone to cardiovascular diseases can serve as an effective preventive and therapeutic strategy to improve both immune and cardiovascular health.
