In this article, we review the literature on beneficial effects of exercise, exercise requirements for cardioprotection, common methods utilized in laboratories to study this phenomenon, and discuss possible mechanisms for exercise-mediated cardioprotection %K exercise %K ischemic reperfusion %K ischemic preconditioning %K remote ischemic preconditioning %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1074248418788575
