Kinetic profiles of 18 systemic pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators during and following exercise in children.

While acute changes in systemic pro-/antiinflammatory cytokines occur with exercise, individual kinetics during and following exercise remain unclear; particularly, information is scarce regarding children. This study investigated the exercise-induced kinetic profiles of major pro-/anti-inflammatory mediators in 21 healthy children (13.9 +/- 0.
