Brief Summary

Intense physical exercise can lead to micro-damage to tissues and activation of inflammatory processes, the body's natural response to exercise-related metabolic stress. Monitoring inflammation and fatigue will enable the observation of athletes in terms of post-exercise regeneration and muscle adaptation to physical effort. The obtained results will allow for estimating the level of fatigue, minimizing the risk of injury, and will show the rate of post-exercise regeneration or its absence.
