The Effects of Physical Activity on Skin Health: A Narrative Review.
Review in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Physical activity (PA) is crucial for a healthy lifestyle and significantly impacts skin health by boosting blood circulation, skin cell metabolism, stress regulation and anti-inflammatory compound production. However, intense exercise or exercise without protective measures can negatively affect the skin, causing irritation, redness, and even skin cancer. This review compiles studies on the effects of physical activity on skin health. PA benefits skin health by enhancing blood flow, which boosts oxygen and nutrient delivery, leading to a healthier complexion. It also increases endorphin production, reducing stress and inflammation. Regular PA improves sleep, aiding skin cell repair through increased human growth hormone. To optimize the role of PA in promoting skin health, it is essential to monitor individual skin type and sensitivity during PA. Additionally, prudent use of sunscreen, sun-protective clothing, and appropriate post-exercise skin hygiene is crucial. In summary, PA represents a double-edged sword in relation to skin health; while moderate exercise can enhance skin health, intense exercise or inadequate protective measures may exacerbate skin disorders.
