Can exercise affect CRP levels?

Exercise has a complex relationship with CRP levels. Regular moderate-intensity exercise reduces systemic inflammation and lowers CRP over time, contributing to better overall health. However, intense or prolonged physical activity can temporarily elevate CRP levels due to muscle strain or tissue injury. This temporary spike is usually harmless and subsides within a few days. If you are undergoing CRP testing, it’s advisable to avoid vigorous exercise in the 24–48 hours beforehand for accurate results.
