Among the several components of air pollutants, particulate matters (PM), especially thick (10-2,5µm; PM 10) and thin (≤2,5 µm; PM 2.5), are breathable particles that easily can be deposited into the lungs, resulting in lung and systemic inflammation. Although physical activity is strongly recommended, its effects when practiced in polluted environments are questionable. Therefore, the present study evaluated the pulmonary and systemic response of concomitant treadmill training with PM 2.5 and PM 10 exposure. Treadmill training inhibited PM 2.5 and PM 10induced accumulation of total leukocytes (p
