Brief Summary

This study aims to learn about relative energy deficiency in male and female rowers at the end of the direct sport preparation phase of the annual training cycle. The main questions: \- How will energy intake influence leptin, cortisol levels, mood, gut discomfort, and permeability? The observational study involves male and female rowers from the Polish rowing team. Participants will perform 2000 meter ergometer test and 6000 ergometer test in annual training cycle. Researchers will compare outcomes from both tests.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

• -FABP (intestinal fatty acid binding protein)to measure epithelial wall injury

  I-FABP concentration measured in blood \[ng/ml\] using commercially availableenzyme-linked immunosorbent assays

  Blood samples was taken from the cubital vein at three-time points: before each stress test (after overnight fasting) up to one hour after getting up, 1 minute after the test, and 3-hour recovery period

• Leptin to measure long-term energy balance

  Leptin concentration measured in blood \[ng/ml\] using commercially availableenzyme-linked immunosorbent assays

  Blood samples was taken from the cubital vein at three-time points: before each stress test (after overnight fasting) up to one hour after getting up, 1 minute after the test, and 3-hour recovery period

• Cortisol to measure stress

  Stress hormone concentration measured in blood \[ng/ml\] using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays

  Blood samples was taken from the cubital vein at three-time points: before each stress test (after overnight fasting) up to one hour after getting up, 1 minute after the test, and 3-hour recovery period

• sCD14 multifunctional lipopolysaccharide receptor

  sCD14 concentration measured in blood \[ug/ml\] using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays

  Blood samples was taken from the cubital vein at three-time points: before each stress test (after overnight fasting) up to one hour after getting up, 1 minute after the test, and 3-hour recovery period

• Claudin to measure tight junction leakage

  Claudin concentration measured in blood \[ng/ml\] using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays

  Blood samples was taken from the cubital vein at three-time points: before each stress test (after overnight fasting) up to one hour after getting up, 1 minute after the test, and 3-hour recovery period
