Post

exercise there is a transient fall in the circulating

cell counts

in the open window period there is reduced

resistance to infetions

adequate intake of

z

and vitamins A,E,B6 and B12 helps maintain immune function.

dietary deficencaries in energy,

and specific macronutrients are associated with suppressed immune function.

An athlete in a CHO depleted state experiences larger

in circulating stress hormone which decreases immune function

CHO consumption during exercise

the immunosuppresive effects of exercise.

fat diets suppress some aspects of immune cell fuction

time to exhaustion

increases time trial performance

increases

flow

lowers the

cost of exercise

decreases blood pressure

allows for a higher rate of

resynthesis during the first few seconds of high intensity exercise

increased stores of

= decreased reliance on anaerobic glycolysis

and therefore less

formation

which means decreased

Increased buffering capacity of

H+

ions these are used during ATP regeneration and PCr synthesis = increased high intensity exercise
