Summary

This observational study aims to evaluate multilevel physiological, molecular, metabolic, intestinal, immunological, and psychophysiological responses to rowing-specific exercise in elite rowers. The study is designed to investigate how maximal and prolonged rowing ergometer exercise influences integrated adaptive mechanisms related to mitochondrial function, metabolic regulation, intestinal permeability, immune activation, DNA damage response, and psychological status.

Thirty members of the Polish Youth National Rowing Team, aged 19-24 years, will participate in the study during two different training periods. During the competitive phase, participants will perform a 2000-m maximal rowing ergometer test, whereas during the preparatory phase they will complete a 6000-m rowing ergometer test. Blood samples and physiological measurements will be collected before exercise, immediately after exercise, and after 1 hour of recovery.

The study will assess gene expression, circulating biomarkers, flow cytometry parameters, blood morphology, lactate concentration, continuous glucose monitoring data, wearable metabolic sensor measurements, nutritional status, and psychological responses. The primary objective is to identify integrated biomarkers reflecting exercise load, recovery dynamics, and adaptive capacity in highly trained athletes. The study also aims to improve understanding of the interaction between metabolic, mitochondrial, intestinal, immunological, and psychophysiological responses to intensive exercise in rowing.

Conditions

  • Healthy Adult Participants

Interventions

OTHER

2000-m rowing ergometer test

A standardized maximal rowing ergometer exercise test performed over a distance of 2000 meters during the competitive phase of the training season to evaluate acute physiological and molecular responses to high-intensity exercise.

OTHER

6000-m rowing ergometer test

A standardized prolonged rowing ergometer exercise test performed over a distance of 6000 meters during the preparatory phase of the training season to evaluate physiological and molecular responses to prolonged submaximal exercise.
