Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: In this section we evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of various biomarkers used in studies by nutritional immunologists (Table 1). An important consideration is that exercise immunologists often perform investigative work in the field, away from the rigorously controlled laboratory environment; as such, the studies are often limited by a lack of experimental control and the choice of measurement tool(s) is often dictated by convenience, practicality, and cost. With this in mind, we highlight areas of uncertainty, gaps in knowledge, and exciting opportunities for continued research development on immune biomarkers; particularly research targeted towards the development of field-worthy technologies. These opportunities include rapid, non-invasive measurements of immunity by portable devices at single time points and even continuous monitoring by wearable technology (e.g. smart contact lenses) may be possible in the not too distant future.
