Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection does not increase heat stress during one hour of exercise in a hot and moderately humid environment
Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection did not alter metabolic responses or increase the rate of rise in HR, T<sub>c</sub> or T<sub>b</sub> during matched workload cycling exercise under hot, moderately humid ambient conditions. IL-1RA is an anti-inflammatory cytokine and IFN-y exhibits direct anti-viral activity, suggesting that immunocompetence was maintained during exertional heat stress.
