<p>This study investigated the response of the immune system to different exercise intensities in healthy, unhealthy, athletic, and sedentary individuals. To better understand the effects of exercise on the immune system and develop more effective training programs, a review of the existing literature investigating the impact of exercise on the immune system was conducted. In this review, ten academic studies examining the effects of exercise on the immune system were analyzed. The research was conducted using literature searches from scientific databases, including "Google Scholar,” "Web of Science," and "PubMed.” Both Turkish and English literature searches were conducted using "effect of exercise on the immune system,” "immune system,” "immunology,” "athletic performance" and "exercise and immune system" as keywords. The findings of the selected studies were analyzed in detail, and common points regarding the effects of exercise on the immune system were identified. Regular moderate-intensity exercise has been found to positively affect the immune system, reduce inflammation, reduce the incidence of diseases, and increase resistance to certain diseases. However, it has been observed that high-intensity exercise may temporarily suppress the immune system, potentially increasing the risk of infection. This study revealed that both sedentary individuals and athletes should prioritize adequate rest, sleep, and balanced nutrition, especially during intense training, and consider the health of their immune systems when designing training programs.</p>

<p>Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare, progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by movement disorders, cognitive impairment, and behavioral changes. Due to significant motor difficulties, accurate assessment of motor abilities is crucial for monitoring disease progression. The aim of the review was to evaluate the validity and reliability of clinical tests used to assess motor abilities in individuals with HD. A systematic review of the literature in the PubMed and Scopus databases included studies that examined the reliability and/or validity of various clinical tests in individuals with HD. Twelve studies were included in the analysis. The most commonly used and reliable tests are: the Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale, the Timed Up and Go test, the Berg Balance Scale, the Tinetti Mobility Test, the Functional Reach Test, and the Six-Minute Walk Test. Digital tools, dynamometry, and gait analysis also show promise. Balance and mobility tests, such as the Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go, Tinetti Mobility Test, and the Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale, consistently demonstrated high reliability and validity. These tools are well-suited for clinical use in assessing motor function in individuals with Huntington’s disease. However, further research with larger and more homogeneous samples is needed to confirm these findings and improve generalizability.</p>
