Inflammation in an Ultra Endurance Race

Per Effort Study of Inflammatory Consequences of an Ultra Endurance Race (165km)

The aim of this study is to study the per and post-exertional variations of the pro and anti inflammatory markers during an ultra-endurance race in healthy volunteers.

Study per and post-exertional changes in proinflammatory biological (IL1, IL6, TNF alpha, HMG beta1 and CRP) and anti inflammatory parameters (IL4, IL10 and IL13, TGF beta, LPS, lipoproteins, lipids) during an ultra endurance race.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male older than 18 years,
2. Completion of an ultra-endurance race (distance greater than 50 kilometers) during the 24 months preceding the race.
3. Affiliation or beneficiary of a social security.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Age lower than 18 years,
2. Subjects with a medical history (pulmonary pathology, cardiac, hypertension) or with a significant chronic inflammatory disease observed during the inclusion visit (the day before the race).
3. Female.
