Physical exercise can have acute or short-term effects on immunological overnight recovery. Concurrent training (CT) is an often-applied exercise regime in team (e.g., soccer) and individual sports (e.g., judo, rowing) characterized by high training volumes and/or intensities. CT can be programmed in…

Abstract Background A considerable number of patients who contracted SARS-CoV-2 are affected by persistent multi-systemic symptoms, referred to as Post-COVID Condition (PCC). Post-exertional malaise (PEM) has been recognized as one of the most frequent manifestations of PCC and is a diagnostic criterion…
The body’s internal milieu is regulated by interacting effector systems that aim to maintain steady states amid perturbations of homeostatic set-points. From an integrative physiology perspective, evolutionary conserved stressors, including infections and physical activity, challenge homeostasis and…
Myokines, released from the muscle, enable communication between the working muscles and other tissues. Their release during physical exercise is assumed to depend on immune–hormonal–metabolic interactions concerning mode (endurance or resistance exercise), duration, and intensity. This meta‐analysis…
Background: In times of physical stress, the body orchestrates a multisystemic regulatory response. The hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine play a role in the immediate regulation chain, while cortisol is involved in delayed regulation. The release of those stress hormones in response to exercise…
Background Recovery from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can be impaired by the persistence of symptoms or new-onset health complications, commonly referred to as Long COVID. In a subset of patients, Long COVID is associated with immune system perturbations of unknown etiology, which could be related…
