Meal-Exercise Challenge and Physical Activity Reduction Impact on Immunity and Inflammation (MERIIT)
In a society where exercise is prescribed by physicians to increase physical condition, improve dietary habits and reduce cardiovascular risk, the impact of exercise, acute or chronic, and diet in inflammation and immunity is unknown. Specific populations can have different responses towards acute and chronic exercise. Moreover specific conditions, like the type of meal ingested, can interfere with these responses. The true effect of pre-competitive meal exercise in the immunity and inflammatory response is unknown. Acute physical inactivity periods, commonly happens during daily life, related to work or acute illness. New evidence points out that it induces immediate metabolic and endocrinological changes, these can might also be associated with changes in immune response.
Aims of this project are:
- to assess the effect of the precompetitive meal on the inflammatory, neuro-immune and metabolic response to exercise;
- to assess the effects of sedentary behaviour on inflammatory, neuro-immune and metabolic response;
- to assess differences in changes between healthy, asthmatic and obese subjects

详细说明
Two interventions will be performed for assessing the research questions and aims:
A) Randomized cross-over, with a wash out period of 7 days, single-blinded trial where two different pre-competitive meals will be followed by an exercise challenge; inflammatory neuro-immune and metabolic response will be assessed before and after each challenge.
Participants will be recruited from advertisement and four different groups will be compared: obese-asthmatic; asthmatic non-obese; obese without asthma and non-asthmatic and non-obese. All patients will be allocated to a meal challenge in which a high fat poor micronutrient meal followed by a Mediterranean meal or vice-versa; meal challenge order will be randomized and participants will be blinded to the intervention. The main outcome for this intervention will be airway inflammation and lung function. All outcomes will be assessed before and 3h after each meal.
A group of individuals will, in the three hours after the meal, perform an exercise challenge, which is aimed to induce acute immune changes.
B) Randomized controlled trial where participants, after a run-in period and eligibility evaluation, will be allocated to an intervention consisting in a reduction of physical activity by 50% or maintaining habitual physical activity for two weeks; inflammatory neuro-immune and metabolic response will be assessed before and after intervention.
