Abstract
Irisin is a myokine with important autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine functions in the body. The acute effect of exercise on circulating irisin levels is not entirely explored. The aim of this review was to analyze the acute effects of exercise on blood irisin level, with respect to the type and intensity of exercise, environmental conditions in which the exercise is performed, and participants’ age, sex, fitness level and health status. Web of Science and Scopus were
searched. Sixty-two articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Both endurance and resistance training seem to have a positive acute effect on blood irisin level, with higher-intensity possibly having a superior potential to induce these changes. The evidence on
the effect of environmental conditions is still inconclusive. Age, sex and fitness level do not seem to affect irisin responsiveness to exercise. The results on persons with health (mainly metabolic) disturbances indicate a positive effect, but are still inconclusive.
