Is There a Ceiling for Inflammatory Markers?

John Sutter: There's a set of events that occur during exercise that trigger the adaptation. That sets in motion a number of adaptations that occur during recovery, which then give us the exact opposite response to what the trigger was. So I'll go back to the heart rate example. Heart rate is close to maximal or maximal. You do that enough times within a week or so or two weeks and your resting heart rate goes down. But it will not change with the exception of one thing, which is age. Training will not change it up in most circumstances. If you look at something like an inflammatory response, I suppose theoretically there is a ceiling though I'm not aware of it.
