    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    While providing the first report of physiological responses to graded exercise following COVID-19 vaccination, we acknowledge several study limitations. The small sample size may not only have prevented us from finding additional effects of vaccination on the exercise response, but also limited our ability to compare the response among infected and non-infected individuals who had received different types of COVID-19 vaccine. Further, we did not include an endpoint measure of exercise performance (e.g., cycling time trial or peak power test) and did not perform follow up assessments to determine the time course for these physiological responses to exercise to return to pre-vaccination levels. We purposefully tested our participants 2-3 weeks after vaccination as this is within the timeframe for neutralizing antibody production and SARS-CoV-2 T-cell detection (16), and because athletes are oftentimes vaccinated in close proximity to competition (7). As we did not administer the vaccines ourselves, we also had no control over the timing of the vaccine or the type of vaccine each individual received. Despite these acknowledged limitations, we conclude that recent COVID-19 vaccination is associated with modest increases in the physiological demands to graded exercise, particularly in those receiving two doses of an mRNA vaccine and with no history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. These findings could have practical implications for athletes in regards to when COVID-19 vaccines are admini...

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
