Aims & Scope

Exercise Immunology Review (EIR) is the official publication of the International Society of Exercise and Immunology and the German Society of Sports Medicine and Prevention. It is committed to develop and to enrich knowledge in all aspects of immunology that relate to acute exercise and regular physical activity. EIR publishes review articles and papers with new, original data including an extended, review-like discussion. In recognition of the broad range of disciplines that contribute to the understanding of immune function, the journal has adopted an interdisciplinary focus. This allows dissemination of research findings from disciplines such as exercise sciences, medicine, immunology, physiology, behavioural science, endocrinology, pharmacology, and psychology.
