Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of a Lactobacillus salivarius probiotic intervention on infection, cold symptom duration and severity, and mucosal immunity in endurance athletes
Michael Gleeson,Nicolette C. Bishop,Marta Oliveira,Tracey McCauley,Pedro Tauler,Claire Lawrence +5 more
TL;DR: Regular ingestion of L. salivarius does not appear to be beneficial in reducing the frequency of URTI in an athletic cohort and does not affect blood leukocyte counts or levels of salivary antimicrobial proteins during a spring period of training and competition.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of dietary manipulation on blood acid-base status and the performance of high intensity exercise
TL;DR: It is suggested that a predetermined regimen of dietary and exercise variation can significantly affect blood acid-base status and may thereby influence high intensity exercise performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of carbohydrate supplementation on plasma cytokine and neutrophil degranulation responses to high intensity intermittent exercise.
TL;DR: Data indicate that CHO ingestion attenuates changes in plasma IL-6 concentration, neutrophil trafficking, and LPS-stimulated neutrophIL degranulation in response to intermittent exercise that involves bouts of very high intensity exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Training-related and competition-related risk factors for respiratory tract and gastrointestinal infections in elite cross-country skiers
TL;DR: Air travel and competition are major risk factors for acute respiratory tract and gastrointestinal symptoms in elite cross-country skiers and Athletes who have large fluctuations in training load experience such symptoms more frequently.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of prolonged cycling on monocyte Toll-like receptor 2 and 4 expression in healthy men.
Marta Oliveira,Michael Gleeson +1 more
TL;DR: This study showed that prolonged cycling at 75% VO2peak temporarily reduces TLR4 expression, which may in part be responsible for post-exercise immunodepression.
