    Abstract The human gut microbiota can be compared to a fingerprint due to its uniqueness, hosting trillions of living organisms. Taking a sport-centric perspective, the gut microbiota might represent a physiological system that relates to health aspects as well as individualized performance in athletes. The athletes' physiology has adapted to their exceptional lifestyle over the years, including the diversity and taxonomy of the microbiota. The gut microbiota is influenced by several physiological parameters and requires a highly individual and complex approach to unravel the linkage between performance and the microbial community. This approach has been taken in this review, highlighting the functions that the microbial community performs in sports, naming gut-centered targets, and aiming for both a healthy and sustainable athlete and performance development. With this article, we try to consider whether initiating a microbiota analysis is practicable and could add value in elite sport, and what possibilities it holds when influenced through a variety of interventions. The aim is to support enabling a well-rounded and sustainable athlete and establish a new methodology in elite sport.

    Abstract Introduction: The study aimed to investigate to what extent acute endurance exercise, especially eccentric exercise and cardiorespiratory fitness affect the metabolic profile of CD4+ cells.
    Methods: 15 male, healthy adults aged between 20 and 33 years with a maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) between 44 and 63 ml/kg/min performed a downhill run (DR) and a level run (LR) for 45 minutes at 70% of their VO2max on a treadmill in a cross-over design. Blood samples were taken before (T0), directly after (T1), 3 hours after (T3), and 24 hours (T24) after each exercise for analyzing leukocyte numbers and cytokine levels. Isolated CD4+ cells were incubated for 4 hours in autologous resting versus 3 hours after exercise serum (T3 DR and T3 LR), and subsequently, cellular respiration, transcriptomic, and metabolomics profiles were measured.
    Results: The systemic immune inflammation index increased significantly after DR and LR at T1 and T3 (p < .001). In contrast, the transcriptomic and metabolic profile of CD4+ cells showed no significant alterations after incubation in T3 exercise serum. However, cardiorespiratory fitness positively correlated with the maximal mitochondrial respiration in CD4+ cells after incubation with T3 LR serum (r = .617, p = .033) and with gene expression of oxidative phosphorylation and levels of different metabolites. Similarly, VO2max was associated with an anti-inflammatory profile on RNA level. Lower lactate, methylmalonic acid, and D-gluconic acid levels were found in CD4+ cells of participants with a high VO2max (p < .001).
    Conclusions: Acute exercise leads to a mild pro-inflammatory milieu with only small changes in the metabolic homeostasis of CD4+ cells. High cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a metabolic shift to oxidative phosphorylation in CD4+ cells. Functional relevance of this metabolic shift needs to be further investigated.

    Abstract Background: Atherosclerosis forms the pathological basis for the development of cardiovascular disease. Since pathological processes initially develop without clinically relevant symptoms, the identification of early markers in the subclinical stage plays an important role for initiating early interventions. There is evidence that regulatory T cells (Tregs) are involved in the development of atherosclerosis. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify and investigate associations with Tregs and their subsets in a cohort of healthy elderly individuals with and without subclinical atherosclerotic plaques (SAP). In addition, various lifestyle and risk factors, such as cardiorespiratory fitness, were investigated as associated signatures.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in 79 participants (male: n = 50; age = 63.6 ± 3.7 years; body mass index = 24.9 ± 3.1 kg/m²; mean ± SD) who had no previous diagnosis of chronic disease and were not taking medication. Ultrasound of the carotids to identify SAP, cardiovascular function measurement for vascular assessment and a cardiorespiratory fitness test to determine peak oxygen uptake were performed. Additionally, tests were conducted to assess blood lipids and determine glucose levels. Immunophenotyping of Tregs and their subtypes (resting (rTregs) and effector/memory (mTregs)) was performed by 8-chanel flow cytometry. Participants were categorized according to atherosclerotic plaque status. Linear and logistic regression models were used to analyze associations between parameters.
    Results: SAP was detected in a total of 29 participants. The participants with plaque were older (64.8 ± 3.6 years vs. 62.9 ± 3.5 years) and had higher peripheral systolic blood pressure (133.8 ± 14.7 mmHg vs. 125.8 ± 10.9 mmHg). The participants with SAP were characterized by a lower percentage of rTregs (28.8% ± 10.7% vs. 34.6% ± 10.7%) and a higher percentage of mTregs (40.3% ± 14.7% vs. 30.0% ± 11.9%). Multiple logistic regression identified age (odds ratio (OR) = 1.20 (95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.01-1.42)) and mTregs (OR = 1.05 (95%CI: 1.02-1.10)) as independent risk factors for SAP. Stepwise linear regression could reveal an association of peak oxygen uptake (β = 0.441), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (β = -0.096), and SAP (β = 6.733) with mTregs and LDL (β = 0.104) with rTregs.
    Conclusion: While at an early stage of SAP, the total proportion of Tregs gives no indication of vascular changes, this is indicated by a shift in the Treg subgroups. Factors such as serum LDL or cardiopulmonary fitness may be associated with this shift and may also be additional diagnostic indicators. This could be used to initiate lifestyle-based preventive measures at an early stage, which may have a protective effect against disease progression.

    Abstract Purpose: Physical exercise is crucial for healthy aging and plays a decisive role in the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). A higher level of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in the elderly is associated with lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. This study investigated the association of CRF level with vascular function and cardiovascular risk factors in the elderly.
    Methods: We examined 79 apparently healthy and physically active subjects aged > 55 years (64 ± 4 years). Cardiovascular functional parameters assessed included brachial and central blood pressure (BP), pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (Aix), and ankle-brachial index. Sonography of the common carotid artery was performed. CRF level was determined by a cardiopulmonary exercise test, and everyday activity was quantified with an accelerometer.
    Results: All participants had a higher CRF level than the reported age-specific normative values. Twenty-nine subjects had subclinical atherosclerosis of the common carotid artery. Compared with participants without atherosclerosis, they were older (p = 0.007), displayed higher brachial systolic BP (p = 0.006), and higher central systolic BP (p = 0.014). Lower brachial (p = 0.036) and central (p = 0.003) systolic BP, lower PWV (p = 0.004), lower Aix (p < 0.001), lower body fat percentage (< 0.001), and lower LDL cholesterol (p = 0.005) were associated with a higher CRF level.
    Conclusions: In this cohort of healthy and physically active individuals, subjects with subclinical atherosclerosis displayed higher systolic brachial and central BP. A higher CRF level was associated with enhanced vascular function, consistent with an influence of CRF on both BP and vascular function in the elderly.
