Immune Responses to Strenuous Exercise and Carbohydrate Intake in Boys and Men
Abstract
Few studies describe immune responses to exercise in children, compared with adults, and none have investigated the influence of carbohydrate (CHO) intake. We hypothesized less perturbation and a faster recovery of the immune system with exercise in children, regardless of supplemental energy. Twelve boys (9.8 ± 0.1 y) and 10 men (22.1 ± 0.5 y) cycled for 60 min at 70% VO2max while drinking 6% CHO (CHO-T) or flavored water (FW-T). Blood samples …
