Cover Story: This review summarizes the effects of acute and chronic endurance, resistance, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) programs on hemostatic balance in healthy individuals and patients with chronic diseases. The hemostatic response to one session of exercise depends on the intensity, training status, age, and the existence of chronic disease. High-level athletes and well-trained individuals present thromboprotective adaptations. Patients with chronic diseases may receive the most benefits from participating in an exercise program of any type, as their vascular health has a greater potential for improvement. Although more studies are required for clear recommendations, progressive programs combining moderate- and high-intensity exercise might provide the most prominent benefits in regulating hemostatic balance at rest and during exercise, especially for patients with chronic diseases.
