The effect of a 100-km ultra-marathon under freezing conditions on selected immunological and haematological parameters The 100 km run is one of the most popular routes in the ultramarathon.Several studies have already examined the effect of this burden on the runners. As a rule, 100 km runs are discharged with moderate temperatures.In a recent study, we examined the influence of temperature at a 100 km run the influence of the temperature on selected parameters of the immune system. For 15 runners who completed a 100km run at around 0 °, there were too pronounced changes in immune cells and markers of the immune system.

Among other things, we found a connection between the markers of acute inflammation and the markers of muscle damage. All details can be found under https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fhys.2017.00638/full
