Body composition, maximal aerobic performance and inflammatory biomarkers in endurance‐trained athletes

This study was designed to examine the relationships between body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness and simultaneously measured inflammatory parameters in endurance-trained athletes. In 20 well-trained rowers (19·0 ± 2·9 years; 185·6 ± 4·8 cm; 85·7 ± 10·8 kg; 17·1 ± 5·1% body fat; maximal oxygen consumption [VO2 max]: 63·9 ± 8·5 ml min-1 kg-1 ), body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and cardiorespiratory fitness...
