AI Article Synopsis
- This study examined how different exercise intensities impact the immune response during acute running sessions.
- Ten male participants ran for an hour at different intensities (55%, 65%, and 75% of their VO2max) to measure cytokine levels.
- Results revealed that running at 75% VO2max significantly increased IL-6 and IL-1ra levels compared to lower intensities, while TNF-α showed only a slight increase with no difference across intensities.
Article Abstract
Purpose: We compared the effects of exercise intensity (EI) on the cytokine response to an acute bout of running.
Methods: Ten males (mean ± SD VO(2max)= 56.2 ± 8.1 mL·min(-1)·kg(-1)) completed three, counterbalanced, 8-d trials. After three control days, on day 4, participants completed 60 min of running at 55%, 65%, and 75% VO(2max). The cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and IL-1 receptor antagonist (ra), and creatine kinase were measured during and for 3 h after exercise and on four follow-up days (FU1-FU4).
Results: RER was higher at 75% V(O2max) compared with both 55% (P < 0.001) and 65% (P < 0.01) VO(2max). IL-1β was undetectable in six participants. There was a small (18%-27%) increase in TNF-α during exercise but no effect of EI. IL-6 concentrations peaked at the end of exercise, with a greater increase at 75% VO(2max), resulting in higher concentrations at the end of exercise and at 30 min after exercise compared with 55% (P < 0.001) and 65% VO(2max) (P < 0.01). IL-1ra concentrations peaked at the end of exercise at 75% VO(2max), resulting in higher (P < 0.05) concentrations at 1-2 h after exercise compared with 55% and 65% VO(2max). Creatine kinase was increased at FU1 and FU2, but there was no effect of EI.
Conclusions: Sixty minutes of treadmill running at 75% VO(2max) results in a greater increase in IL-6 but not TNF-α compared with 55% and 65% V(O2max). The higher IL-1ra concentrations at 75% VO(2max) might be related to the higher IL-6 concentrations that precede them.

Background: The impact of chronic exercise on cardiometabolic risk is a crucial aspect of public health. However, limited knowledge exists regarding differences in cardiometabolic parameters between older athletes, older controls, and sedentary or active young controls.
Methods: A comprehensive search in major databases until October 2024 was conducted for studies comparing older athletes with older controls or with both sedentary and active younger adults.

Purpose: Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy remains underdiagnosed in type 1 diabetes mellitus, posing a risk for severe complications, particularly in patients with lowered V̇O, compared to controls. This study aimed to determine whether heart rate variability during cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests reveals early signs of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in patients with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes mellitus and normal cardiovascular fitness, compared to healthy controls.
Methods: A type 1 diabetes mellitus group (n = 14) with no other diagnosed diseases (diabetes duration 15 ± 7 years) and a control group (n = 31) underwent deep breathing test, passive orthostatic test, and cardiopulmonary exercise test.

Faculty of Medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland, NL A1A 1E5, Canada. Electronic address:
Background: Gait is typically symmetrical and consistent and subtle increases in gait variability can suggest loss of neural control. In multiple sclerosis (MS), covert walking changes precede clinical signs, often not detectable on observation, and measurement of gait variability could be a potential biomarker of covert neurodegeneration. Both cognition and fitness could influence changes in gait variability.

Objectives: To evaluate the association between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and cognition in a large sample of older adults, and to examine clinical and demographic factors that might moderate these associations.
Methods: CRF was measured with a graded exercise test performed on a motorised treadmill. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using data from a comprehensive neuropsychological battery to obtain latent factors reflecting core cognitive domains.

This study compared inter-individual variability in the adaptive responses of cardiorespiratory fitness, anaerobic power, and motor abilities of male volleyball players to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) prescribed as repetitive drop jumps (interval jumping) and running-based intervals (interval running). Twenty-four collegiate volleyball players were equally randomized to two training groups executing 11 minutes of interval running or interval jumping during which they ran or repeated drop-jumps for 15 seconds, alternating with 15 seconds of passive recovery. Before and after the 6-week training period, aerobic fitness, cardiac function, and anaerobic power were evaluated using a graded exercise test, impedance cardiography, and a lower-body Wingate test, respectively.
