excerpt-"One thing that seems to be made clear about OTS is that there is a large mental health factor in OTS, as mental stress may also exacerbate the effects of OTS by causing chronic stress and continuous circulation of elevated Catecholamine levels, meaning that there may be far more than just physical exertion at play here."

Exactly... the fight or flight response is activated by the person.. meaning.. they assume the "beast mentality" to get their bodies going in order to get to muscle failure.

It just crossed my mind.. School is back in session and so is football. My son was on the football team for 5 years and right about now there is daily after school training. These training session are intense. This information needs to go out to the high school coaches ASAP...

I'm very interested in these articles because I have a son, who received the 2 Moderna shots and is considerably overweight. His doctors have recommended that he lose weight and of course the remedy is diet and exercise. Young men especially tend to think of exercise as a strenuous activity and will over do it. If indeed there is a correlation, these articles and information are urgent and of utmost importance to alot of people.

Also, I believe you would be a great teacher at the university level.

I mentioned in one of your previous posts that I avoid strenuous exercise due to the connection between it and lowering the immune system.

Now that I read the section on the migration of NK cells after exercise- what come to mind is this-

Strenuous exercise probably activates the body's fight or flight response- which then puts the person in survival mode. In a fight or flight situation, there is likely to be injury, which would allow pathogens to enter the body. So I could assume that another part of the fight or flight response would be to increase circulating NK in the blood stream to the extremities so that they could be ready to respond to a injury. Ah the body works so beautiful!

excerpt-"explain why appearance is not a good measure of wellness."

So true. I recently went to see a cardiologist for surgery clearance, and his general opinion that I was doing good, was because I "looked" so good from the last time he saw me in 2017. Needless to say, I was not happy with is simple assessment because anyone with good sense, much less a doctor knows that a slim person could also be unhealthy.
