Physical activity has been demonstrated to have a significant impact on gut microbial
diversity and function. Emerging research has revealed certain aspects of the complex …

Background Among ultra-endurance runners (UER), the mental, behavioral, and physical
demands of training/competition can result in maladaptive outcomes. Mental health issues …

The physical demands of a single long-distance triathlon (LDT) are sufficient to cause robust
physiological perturbations. In this unique case study, an ultraendurance athlete completed …

Background: Body temperature is often assessed in the core and the skin. Infrared
thermography has been used to measure skin temperature (Tsk) in sport research and …

The purpose of our field study was to investigate the effects of running the Boston Marathon
on acute kidney injury (AKI) biomarkers. We hypothesized that biomarker values would be …

ABSTRACT 1 Purpose. Despite a growing body of literature on the physiological responses
to ultramarathon, there is a 2 paucity of data in females. This study assessed the female …

Background: This study aimed to globally assess heat strain, dehydration, and mechanical
load as acute kidney injury (AKI) indicators in amateur endurance trail athletes during a 35.3 …

Increasingly popular, ultra-endurance participation exposes athletes to extremely high levels
of functional and structural damage. Ultra-endurance athletes commonly develop acute …

Exercise dependence (ED) is common in endurance athletes and can lead to physical and
psychological distress with various health effects. We designed a prospective cross …

Background: Previous studies indicate that running at maximum speed on short or curved
sections is slower than running on straight sections. This study aimed to analyse the external …
