Overview
Tab Title Description
Study type
InterventionalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.

About this study
We are doing this study to compare how acute maximal and acute endurance exercise affect immune cell populations in the blood for different populations of healthy participants (comparing age, gender, fitness level, etc). We hope to use this information to develop a baseline understanding of how exercise affects immune system function.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion criteria
For aim 1-2: For the healthy controls, non-smoking individuals with a sedentary lifestyle (<60 mins of moderate intensity aerobic exercise per week, VO2 max < 80% of age predicted) and active lifestyle (>300 mins of moderate to high intensity aerobic exercise per week or VO2 max > 120% of age predicted.) The groups will be matched for age, sex, and BMI.
For Aim 3: participants will be recruited by their participation in the endurance or ultraendurance events selected by the study team.
Exclusion criteria
Healthy Controls
Subjects will be excluded if they have cardiovascular or pulmonary disease or autoimmune diseases. A pregnancy test will be used to screen women and those pregnant will be excluded. In addition, subjects will not be allowed to participate if they currently smoke or have had a significant history of smoking (>5 pack years).
