The appearance of creatine kinase (CK) in blood has been generally considered to be an
indirect marker of muscle damage, particularly for diagnosis of medical conditions such as …

Muscle soreness, tenderness, or pain a few days after exercise is a common experience,
and these subjective feelings are paralleled by simultaneous or delayed physio-logic and …

Areas of general agreement Total creatine kinase (CK) levels depend on age, gender, race,
muscle mass, physical activity and climatic condition. High levels of serum CK in apparently …

Serum creatine kinase (CK) activity and subjective ratings of muscle soreness were
assessed in 28 college women following three different arm flexion exercise regimens. The …

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 …

Skeletal muscle damage size (SMDS) was assessed in 35 women and 34 men runners after
a 42.2-km race using a method developed for estimation of myocardial infarct size. SMDS …

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 …

Serum creatine kinase and dorsflexion torque levels were measured in New Zealand White
rabbits 1, 2, 7, 14, or 28 days after a single bout of eccentric exercise (n= 26). No significant …
