Abstract in brief

  • Exercise, especially when prolonged, intense, and done without food, can temporarily weaken immune function, increasing the risk of illness.
  • Chronic overtraining may lead to long-lasting immune suppression, with some immune responses still depressed 24 hours after exercise.
  • The increase in respiratory illnesses observed after strenuous endurance events might be due to inflammation rather than infection, and even though elite athletes aren't clinically immune deficient, minor immune changes could make them more prone to minor illnesses.]

@MatthewJDalby Or high-level physical activity causing low-level T and B cell suppression (eg cortisol mediated...). This was just the first review article I could find. https://t.co/czRK9tZqEv

@drbogash @chrischirp @IndependentSage And as any Olympic athlete who’s ever succumbed to an infectious disease will tell you, extreme training regimes lower immunity. “Periods of intensified training that result in overreaching have been shown to chronically depress immune function.” https://t.co/WlzNZ7VKbM

@PaulTill77 @MichelleDewbs Masks aside, your premise is wrong. ‘Periods of intensified training have been shown to chronically depress immune function. Studies indicate the incidence of symptoms of upper respiratory tract illness is > following prolonged strenuous endurance events’ https://t.co/c4HJfRFQO9

@valhallawaits66 @HusbandHarvey @Alan45075546 @GaryLineker I can't find much on it but actually the opposite is claimed in studies https://t.co/bbaVr13NWH At the same time, some exercise has beneficial effects. So it seems to be quite complicated. Either way I'd trust was experts say - everyone would benefit from the vaccine

@mszymanski101 @MonikaG_87 @LukaszBok Zawodowe uprawianie sportu nie powoduje poprawy aktywności układu immunologicznego, raczej przeciwnie. https://t.co/C6HT8jLKGj I nie jest to żadna loteria testowa. Prawidłowa interpretacja wyników testów, to kompetencja lekarzy i są powody dla których lek. to 6 lat studiów
