Biochemical Markers

The effect of physical activity on serum cartilage biomarkers is largely unknown. This study is critical to increase our knowledge of the physiological cartilage response to activities of daily living and dynamic tasks by focusing on healthy recreationally active individuals, thus improving our understanding of the complex relationship between cartilage health and the loading that occurs during different types of loading.

The aim of this project is to evaluate and identify the effect of a short-term 2-week multi-strain probiotic (MPRO) supplementation on the exercise-associated gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and perturbations in high level female athletes of the Polish national team during strictly controlled conditions of a training camp, based on recommendations for best practices for probiotic (PRO) research in athletes and assessment of EX-associated GI perturbations.
