Data demonstrate that regular physical activity can speed healing by

influencing immune and endocrine function and improving psychological

responses to stress. Short-term exercise (1 hr/day for 3 days) did not affect

the rate of wound healing; however, those who completed a 4-week

exercise program (1hr/day, ×3/wk) healed 25% more quickly (Altemus et

al. 2001, Emery et al. 2005, Christian et al. 2006).
