Immune Function During and After 60 min of Moderate Exercise Wearing Protective Clothing
Abstract
As exercise while wearing protective clothing exacerbates body heat storage, compared to exercise in the heat, and as exercise alters immune responses, it appeared interesting to examine immune and stress responses while wearing protective clothing during moderate exercise. Methods: Eight subjects completed two bouts of exercise at 45% VO2 max in a thermo neutral environment: once while wearing shorts only (Control trial, CON) and again while wearing protective clothing (PRO). Venous blood samples were taken to analyze TNF-a mRNA by RT-PCR in LPS simulated blood, plasma catecholamines, and cortisol. Blood cell count was analyzed by flow cytometry. Rectal temperature (Tre) was monitored continuously.
