Transient Immune Deficit after Exercise and the Relationship with Immuno-Nutrition: A Short Review of the Literature

In order to understand the relationship of immune deficit after physical activity and its relationship with food supplementation with carbohydrates and polyphenols to mitigate this transient suppression, the objective of this review is to identify the factors that characterize the decline in immune function after physical exercise and stress the importance of immunonutrition in this context. The use of carbohydrates and polyphenols in physical activity practitioners to mitigate transient immune deficit. The evidence directs the moment after strenuous physical exercise, as a period in which there is a greater susceptibility to transient immune dysfunctions.
