Questions people ask about CRP Training

CRP (C-reactive protein) is an inflammatory marker that can be modulated by exercise. Moderate endurance training consistently lowers baseline CRP, while excessive overtraining may raise it. Individual responses vary due to genetics, diet, and fitness level. Direct-to-consumer DNA tests for CRP (e.g., rs1205) have weak predictive value for training outcomes. A blood CRP test is more informative but should not be used alone to guide training. Chronically elevated CRP (>3 mg/L) warrants medical evaluation. Evidence: human-moderate.
