Increased serum enzyme activity after exercise was first reported in 1958; subsequent
studies have established that many factors determine the degree to which the serum …

Areas of general agreement Total creatine kinase (CK) levels depend on age, gender, race,

Serum Creatine Kinase Levels and Renal Function Measures in Exertional Muscle Damage …

Background: The serum concentration of creatine kinase (CK) is used widely as an index of
skeletal muscle fibre damage in sport and exercise. Since athletes have higher CK values …

Resistance exercise can result in localized damage to muscle tissue. This damage may be
observed in sarcolemma, basal lamina, as well as, in the contractile elements and the …
