Anecdotally my own experience matches that of the rodents in the experiment. I've found that when I'm getting regular strenuous exercise (I bike up a steep hill as part of my commute) I almost never get sick, and can go > 1 year without so much as a sore throat. Conversely, when I'm more sedentary for months at a go, I'm more likely to become ill.

In HS, I decided to give no fuck, went to my 2h winter soccer practice (+ 1h total mudtrail bike to go there). That cold didnt last long and didnt end up causing bronchitis. That was surely half luck, but I always have a feeling that, to an extent, keeping your system active helps. More blood flow ? maybe trigger a more rapid and global immune response .. dunno
