Exercise can be pyrogenic in humans

Abstract: Exercise increases mean body temperature ( Tbody) and cytokine concentrations in plasma. Cytokines facilitate PG production via cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, and PGE2 can mediate fever. Therefore, we used a COX-2 inhibitor to test the hypothesis that PG-mediated pyrogenicity may contribute to the raised T body in exercising humans. In a double-blind, cross-over design, 10 males [age: 23 yr (SD 5), V O2 max: 53 ml⅐ kg Ϫ1 ⅐ min Ϫ1 (SD 5)] consumed rofecoxib (50 mg/day; NSAID) or placebo (PLAC) for 6 days, 2 wk a… Show more

“…The MDI negatively affected endurance performance in both groups, which suggests that the NSAID ibuprofen probably did not preserve muscular-endurance performance in athletes experiencing muscle damage before exercise, which is consistent with previous reports. These observations indicate that long-distance runners should take caution when using NSAIDs to improve muscle-endurance performance because the side effects previously described 28,35,36 may outweigh the expected benefits. Our participants were young military personnel, so our results should be interpreted with caution because they cannot be easily generalized to high-level endurance athletes.…”

“…These "candidate" factors include, as noted, catecholamines, growth hormone, and the cytokine IL-6, and the parallel dramatic changes in local muscle and body temperature [29,30], oxygenation and acid-base status [31]. Glucocorticoids also increase with exercise, but usually after much more intense periods of exercise than used in this study [32].…”

“…Notably, four young athletes individually had consistently higher T C , HR (and PSI), and RPE responses in bout 2 compared with their first exercise session, which might indicate a lower tolerance (33) to repeated strenuous exercise in the heat and a potential greater clinical risk for these particular boys and girls during outdoor multiple-bout competition scenarios in hot weather. Although we did not evaluate any humoral measures to support the argument, we suspect that the greater degree of physiological strain observed in bout 2 was more likely related to a greater (albeit subclinical) pyrogenic response to the first period of exercise, thus contributing to the higher T C and cardiac frequency (11), as opposed to an acute exercise-induced inflammatory reaction to any potential muscle damage incurred (32) during bout 1. The responses of these individuals also underscore the fact that ample hydration does not guarantee minimal thermal and cardiovascular strain.…”
