Abstract
Rationale: Upper-respiratory tract infections (URTI) are common in athletes given their training regime, travel, and exposure to stressors1. While probiotic supplementation has been shown to improve mucosal immunity in this group2, it is not known if prebiotic supplementation would be as effective. Research shows prebiotics could modulate immunoglobulin A (IgA) secretion, a marker associated with reduced URTI incidence1,3. This study investigated whether inulin can increase mucosal immunity and reduce URTI episodes.
