Right ventricle (RV) dysfunction has been described in athletes after endurance races. We aimed to understand and characterize the RV response exercise, impact of individual variability effects amount exercise. Echocardiography was performed 55 healthy adults at baseline a three-stage trail race: short (14 km; n = 17); medium (35 21); long (56 17). Standard speckle tracking echocardiographic assessment with global separate analysis basal (inflow) apical regions. Although no change observed...
Objective: To determine the effect of marathon running on serum levels inflammatory, high energy, and cartilage matrix biomarkers to ascertain whether these correlate. Design: Blood samples from 17 Caucasian male recreational athletes at Barcelona Marathon 2017 were collected baseline, immediately 48 h post-race. Serum C reactive protein (CRP), creatin kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) determined using an AU-5800 chemistry analyser. hyaluronan (HA), oligomeric (COMP), aggrecan...
Respiratory infections are common after strenuous exercise, when salivary immunity may be altered. We aim to investigate changes in a marathon and its relationship with lower respiratory tract (LRTI) healthy non-elite runners.Forty seven runners (28 males 19 females) who completed the 42.195 km of 2016 Barcelona were studied. Saliva blood samples collected day before two days end race. Salivary IgA, antimicrobial proteins (lactoferrin, lysozyme) chemokines (Groα, Groβ, MCP-1) determined...
Background. Recreational marathon runners face strong physiological challenges. Assessment of potential biomarkers for the biological responses will help to discriminate individual race responsiveness and their consequences. This study sought analyze changes in plasma levels GDF15 FGF21, novel endocrine factors related metabolic stress, following strenuous exercise a race. Methods. Blood samples were obtained from eighteen male (mean + SD, age: 41.7 5.0 years, BMI: 23.6 1.8) 48h before,...
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact exercise-induced hypoxaemia (EIH) developed at sea-level on exercise responses moderate acute altitude.Twenty three subjects divided in groups individuals: highly trained with EIH (n = 7); without 8) and untrained participants performed two maximal incremental tests 2,150 m. Haemoglobin O2 saturation (SpO2), heart rate, oxygen uptake (VO2) several ventilatory parameters were measured continuously during tests.EIH athletes had a drop SpO2...
Purpose There has been suggestion that a greater "pulmonary vascular reserve" defined by low pulmonary resistance (PVR) and high lung diffusing capacity (DL) allow for superior aerobic exercise capacity. How reserve might affect at moderate altitude is not known. Methods Thirty-eight healthy subjects underwent an stress echocardiography of the circulation, combined with measurements DL nitric oxide (NO) carbon monoxide (CO) cardiopulmonary test sea level 2250 m. Results At rest, decreased...
To investigate changes after a mountain ultramarathon (MUM) in the serum concentration of fast (FM) and slow (SM) myosin isoforms, which are fiber-type-specific sarcomere proteins. The were compared against creatine kinase (CK), widely used fiber-sarcolemma-damage biomarker, cardiac troponin I (cTnI), biomarker.Observational comparison response single group 8 endurance-trained amateur athletes. Time-related levels CK, cTnI, SM, FM from competitors analyzed before, 1 h MUM, 24 48 start MUM by...
The aim of the study was to analyze heart rate variability (HRV) response high-intensity exercise during a 35-km mountain trail race and ascertain whether fitness level could influence autonomic nervous system (ANS) modulation. Time-domain, frequency-domain, multi-scale entropy (MSE) indexes were calculated for eleven mountain-trail runners who completed race. Many changes observed, mostly related load fatigue. These characterized by increased mean values standard deviations normal-to-normal...
Although it is known that altitude impairs performance in endurance sports, there no consensus on the involvement of energy substrates this process. The objective present study was to determine whether metabolomic pathways used during exercise differ according effort performed at sea level or moderate (at same intensity, using proton nuclear magnetic resonance, 1 H NMR). Twenty subjects two 60-min tests and 2150 m identical relative intensity a cycle ergometer. Blood plasma obtained from...
Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between whole-body bioimpedance vector displacement, using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIVA), and renal function through serum biomarkers [creatinine, urea, sodium, C-reactive protein (CRP), creatine kinase] urine after a marathon. Methods: Bioimpedance measurements were taken among 19 non-elite runners at 24 h pre-race, immediately post-race, 48 post-race. The analyzed by BIVA Hotelling's T2 test. divided according to cutoff of...
Gene expression (GE) analyses on blood samples from marathon and half-marathon runners have reported significant impacts the immune inflammatory systems. An ultra-marathon trail (UMT) represents a greater effort due to its more testing conditions. For first time, we report genome-wide GE profiling in group of 16 participating an 82 km UMT competition. We quantified their differential profile before after race using HuGene2.0st microarrays (Affymetrix Inc., California, US). The results...
Consequences of running mountain races on muscle damage were investigated by analysing serum enzymes and fibre-type-specific sarcomere proteins. We studied 10 trained amateur 6 highly runners who ran a 35 km 55 trail race (MTR), respectively. Levels creatine kinase (CK), CK-MB isoform (CK-MB), sarcomeric mitochondrial CK (sMtCK), transaminases (AST ALT), cardiac troponin I (cTnI) fast (FM) slow myosin (SM) isoforms, assessed before, 1 h, 24 h 48 after the beginning MTR. Significant SM...
Abstract Objectives : High‐intensity training has been associated with bi‐ventricular and bi‐atrial remodelling a potentially increased risk of arrhythmias. Most the evidence is based on endurance disciplines mainly involving lower part body, while few data available upper body disciplines. The purpose this study was to compare chronic cardiac induced by running swimming as well acute response ventricular atrial performance after an upper‐body lower‐body race. Methods Standard speckle...
Background Extreme exercise may alter the innate immune system. Glycans are involved in several biological processes including system regulation. However, limited data regarding impact of glycan supplementation on immunological parameters after strenuous available. We aimed to determine a standardized polysaccharide-based multi-ingredient supplement, Advanced Ambrotose© complex powder (AA) salivary secretory Immunoglobulin A (sIgA) and pro- anti-inflammatory protein levels before marathon...
