“…The running effects on cognition and plasticity trial is a longitudinal observational study of marathon runners who registered for the Munich Marathon 2017. The detailed study protocol was previously published (14). Inclusion criteria for the marathon group were age between 18 and 60 yr and successful registration for the Munich Marathon 2017.…”

“…Findings presented in the literature concerning the mood and cognitive functioning of athletes doing extreme endurance sports are inconsistent. Moreover, there are no data about nighttime cross-country races, and there is still a lack of research focusing on the consequences of endurance training and the psychological aspects of physical activity for marathon runners [33]. This encouraged us to look more closely at this phenomenon.…”

Ultramarathons are becoming an increasingly popular endurance sport. Year after year, the demands on athletes’ skills and endurance increase. Ultramarathons are particularly taxing on athletes’ psychological functioning. This study assessed the relationships between taking part in a nighttime ultramarathon and changes in mood and cognitive functioning. The study included 20 experienced runners aged 26–57 (M = 37.29; SD = 7.94) who had M = 7.08, SD = 5.41 (range 3–44) years of experience running. There were 18 men and 2 women. The mood states were measured twice, just before the start of the run and shortly after crossing the finish line, using the Polish version of the UMACL UWIST Mood Adjective Checklist by Mathews, Chamberlain, and Jones. To assess cognitive functioning, the Stroop Color and Word Test and “Forward digit span” subtest from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale were used. We observed statistically significant changes in the mood of the runners: tense arousal, associated with the experienced stress, was significantly higher before the run than immediately after the finish. Moreover, we observed an improvement in cognitive functioning after finishing the 100 km run on both of the trials on the Stroop color word test and on the forward digit span test.

“…We included 51 marathon runners (of the initial 100 participants) of the longitudinal observational ReCaP-Study [Running effects on cognition and plasticity; details published previously ( Roeh et al, 2019 )] in our analyses. Participants were aged between 18 to 60 years, successfully registered for the Munich Marathon 2017, completed at least one half-marathon prior to the event, had sufficient German language skills and provided written informed consent.…”

Background: Prolonged and strenuous exercise has been linked to potential exercise-induced myocardial damages. One potential key to unmask the discussed underlying mechanisms of this subclinical cardiac damage could be markers of immunogenic cell damage (ICD). We investigated the kinetics of high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE), nucleosomes, high sensitive troponin T (hs-TnT) and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) before and up to 12 weeks post-race and described associations with routine laboratory markers and physiological covariates.Methods: In our prospective longitudinal study, 51 adults (82% males; 43 ± 9 years) were included. All participants underwent a cardiopulmonary evaluation 10–12 weeks pre-race. HMGB1, sRAGE, nucleosomes, hs-TnT and, hs-CRP were analysed 10–12 weeks prior, 1–2 weeks before, immediately, 24 h, 72 h, and 12 weeks post-race.Results: HMGB1, sRAGE, nucleosomes and hs-TnT increased significantly from pre- to immediately post-race (0.82–2.79 ng/mL; 1132–1388 pg/mL; 9.24–56.65 ng/mL; 6–27 ng/L; p < 0.001) and returned to baseline within 24–72 h. Hs-CRP increased significantly 24 h post-race (0.88–11.5 mg/L; p < 0.001). Change in sRAGE was positively associated with change in hs-TnT (rs = 0.352, p = 0.011). Longer marathon finishing time was significantly associated with decreased levels of sRAGE [−9.2 pg/mL (β = −9.2, SE = 2.2, p < 0.001)].Conclusion: Prolonged and strenuous exercise increases markers of ICD immediately post-race, followed by a decrease within 72 h. An acute marathon event results in transient alterations of ICD, we assume that this is not solely driven by myocyte damages.
