Physical exercise activates innate and adaptive immunity, boosting the circulation and function of NK cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, key players in cancer surveillance. This study aims to assess the effect of moderate physical activity on NK cells, their subpopulations, and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, in young, healthy women.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study included 141 healthy women aged 20\u201336. Physical activity was monitored using Fitbit accelerometers over two menstrual cycles, during which participants performed at least 180 minutes\/week of moderate physical activity. Blood samples were collected to assess cytotoxic T lymphocytes, NK cells, their subpopulations, and NK cytotoxic activity via flow cytometry.
