Abstract
  Atherosclerosis, the pathophysiological substrate for cardiovascular disease (CVD), is the final stage of an inflammatory cascade. During the process, endothelial dysfunction ensues and the inflammatory state is perpetuated. A number of traditional risk factors, as obesity and insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes, are characterized by a proinflammatory state as well, with increased levels of cytokines, interleukins, vasoactive peptides and enhanced expression of specific cellular receptors. The anti-inflammatory properties of physical exercise and its positive effects as a strategy for obesity and insulin resistance have already been shown in terms of cardiovascular protection and survival.
