Background
Aging is often associated with low-grade systemic inflammation and reduced anabolic hormone levels. To investigate whether lifelong exercise training can decrease the age-related low-grade inflammation and anabolic hormone levels, we examined hormonal and inflammatory parameters among highly-trained male masters athletes and age-matched non-athletes.
Methods
From 70 elite power and endurance master athletes – EMA (51.3 ± 8.0 yr), 32 young controls - YC (23.7 ± 3.9 yr) and 24 untrained age-matched controls - MAC (47.2 ± 8.0 yr) venous blood was drawn to measure inflammatory parameters (interleukin-6 [IL-6], tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α] and interleukin-10 [IL-10]) and circulating hormones (luteinizing hormone [LH], total testosterone, estradiol, sex hormone-binding globulin [SHBG] and free androgen index [FAI]).
Results
EMA showed a better anti-inflammatory status than MAC (higher IL-10 and IL-10/IL-6 ratio and lower IL-6), but a lower anti-inflammatory status than YC (higher TNF-α) (p < 0.05). The MAC group had lower testosterone levels compared to the YC and EMA group (p < 0.05), and lower estradiol levels and testosterone/LH ratio compared to YC (p < 0.05). In the control groups (MAC and YC), testosterone correlated negatively with age and proinflammatory parameters, and positively with anti-inflammatory parameters.
Conclusion
Elite master athletics elevated levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines above that seen in non-athlete peers and mitigated the age-related reduction in testosterone levels.

Inflammatory Biomarkers in Elite Cross-Country Skiers After a Competition Season : A Case-Control Study
Luoto, Raakel; Ruuskanen, Olli; Ihalainen, Johanna K.; Pekkala, Satu; Hintikka, Jukka; Kanerva, Noora; Waris, Matti; Heinonen, Olli J.; Valtonen, Maarit (Springer, 2023)Purpose Whether elite athletes, who have been exposed to vigorous-intensity exercise combined with other stressors, have elevated systemic low-grade inflammation, remains largely unclear. To address this question, we ... -

Cross‐sectional associations between physical fitness and biomarkers of inflammation in children : the PANIC study
Haapala, Eero A.; Kuronen, Emmi; Ihalainen, Johanna K.; Lintu, Niina; Leppänen, Marja H.; Tompuri, Tuomo; Atalay, Mustafa; Schwab, Ursula; Lakka, Timo A. (Wiley, 2023)Background Systemic low-grade inflammation has been proposed as an underlying pathophysiological mechanism for cardiometabolic diseases. We investigated the associations of physical fitness with systemic low-grade ... -
