Data pooling resulted in each athlete completing one of five running sessions: (1) 8 x 3 min at 85% vVO2peak; (2) 5 x 4 min at 90% vVO2peak; (3) 90 min continuous at 75% vVO2peak; (4) 40 min continuous at 75% vVO2peak; (5) 40 min continuous at 65% vVO2peak. Athletes from each running session were represented amongst all four groups; hence, the mean exercise duration and intensity were not different (p>0.05). Venous blood samples were collected pre-, post- and 3 h post-exercise, and were analysed for serum ferritin, iron, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and hepcidin-25. Baseline and post-exercise serum ferritin levels were different between groups (p<0.05). There were no group differences for pre- or post-exercise serum iron or IL-6 (p>0.05). Post-exercise IL-6 was significantly elevated compared to baseline within each group (p<0.05). Pre- and 3 h post-exercise hepcidin-25 was sequentially greater as the groups baseline serum ferritin levels increased (p<0.05). However, post-exercise hepcidin levels were only significantly elevated in three groups (SF30-50, SF50-100, and SF>100; p<0.05). An athlete's iron stores may dictate the baseline hepcidin levels and the magnitude of post-exercise hepcidin response. Low iron stores suppressed post-exercise hepcidin, seemingly overriding any inflammatory-driven increases.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:57:01 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11669 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:56:57 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11668 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:56:57 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11498 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:56:48 AEST ]]>
