Modality-specific training adaptations – do they lead to a dampened acute inflammatory response to exercise?

| Summary: | While adaptations to a short-term training program can dampen the acute inflammatory response to exercise, less is known about the influence of chronic modality-specific adaptations to training. This study compares the acute inflammatory response to upper- and lower-body interval exercise in individuals chronically trained in these respective modalities. Ninety minutes of interval exercise matched for relative power output on an arm-crank (ARM) and cycle ergometer (LEG) was performed by 8 trained paddlers and 8 trained cyclists. Blood samples were taken pre- and post-exercise. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations were analysed in plasma, while the expression of intracellular Hsp72 was assessed in monocytes (iHsp72). Interleukin-6 was increased following both modalities (fold change ARM: 7.23±3.56, p |
