There were clear reductions in the magnitude of acute exercise-induced changes in some cytokines and uncertainty in the effects of supplementation on URTI and on symptoms in females needs to be resolved.

Regular ingestion of L. salivarius does not appear to be beneficial in reducing the frequency of URTI in an athletic cohort and does not affect blood leukocyte counts or levels of salivary antimicrobial proteins during a spring period of training and competition.

- 2024
Medicine
The probability of RTI, the times of RTI occurrences, the times of colds and the duration of RTI in children from the probiotic group were lower than those from the placebo group, and the IFN-ƒ levels in the probiotic group were higher than the ones in the placebo group.

A small number of studies examining probiotic supplementation in highly active individuals indicate modest clinical benefits in terms of reduced frequency, severity, and/or duration of respiratory and gastrointestinal illness.
Effect of Probiotics Supplementations on Health Status of Athletes
- 2019
Medicine
Probiotic supplementation improved the intestinal permeability, immune system, intestinal microbiota, inflammatory system, reduced the severity and incidence of respiratory tract infections, and duration of gastrointestinal symptoms and the literature survey summarized the effect of probiotic supplementation on health status of athletes.

Prophylactic administration of PCC was associated with a substantial reduction in the number of days and severity of respiratory illness in a cohort of highly trained distance runners and maintenance of IFNγ levels may be one mechanism underpinning the positive clinical outcomes.
