Most research studies investigated the impact of intense training on young and old people, when the deterioration in performance and the decrease in hormonal reactions appeared to happen much earlier, within the fourth decade. In addition, intense training (sprinting and weight training) affects plasma concentrations of hormones and metabolites in 40-year-olds, but what about the immune system? This brief review highlighted the majority of findings about aging and the effect of intense training on physiological, hormonal, and immune responses.
