Summary

Endurance athletes training in the Mediterranean showed no significant lung function impairment after a sports season. Minor airway changes were observed but were not clinically significant for these healthy athletes.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Pulmonary Physiology
  • Exercise Science

Background:

  • Endurance athletes undergo rigorous training, potentially impacting respiratory health.
  • Understanding airway adaptations in athletes training in specific environments, like the Mediterranean, is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate longitudinal airway changes in healthy endurance athletes over a sports season.
  • To assess respiratory function and patterns during different training phases.

Main Methods:

  • 13 healthy endurance athletes were monitored over a sports season.
  • Respiratory function was assessed using spirometry and closing volume tests.
  • Maximal exercise tests were conducted during basic, pre-competition, and competitive training periods.

Main Results:

  • A slight, non-clinically significant decrease in forced vital capacity was noted during the competitive period.
  • An increase in the slope of phase III of the single-breath nitrogen washout was observed.
  • Maximal exercise revealed a tachypnoeic shift in breathing pattern during the competitive phase.

Conclusions:

  • The study found no significant evidence of lung function impairment in healthy Mediterranean athletes after one year of endurance training.
  • Observed airway changes were minor and did not indicate clinical impairment.
