Muscle tissue may be damaged following intense prolonged training as a consequence of
both metabolic and mechanical factors. Serum levels of skeletal muscle enzymes or proteins …

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 …

Total creatin kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) serum levels depend on age,
gender, race, muscle mass, physical activity, and climatic conditions. High CK serum levels …

Background: The surface electromyography (EMG) is a technique to capture and measure
electrical activity and muscle action potential. It is applied to specify the production of force …

In this study, we examined the relationship between serum creatine kinase activity following
exercise-induced muscle damage and muscle fibre composition. Seventeen untrained …

The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in the magnitude of muscle damage
between maximal eccentric exercises of the elbow flexors (EF) and knee extensors (KE) …

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) supplementation has been considered an interesting
nutritional strategy to improve skeletal muscle protein turnover in several conditions. In this …

In this cross-sectional study we assessed the prevalence of hyperCKemia, defined as
persistent CK values⩾ 210 U/L in women,⩾ 400 U/L in men< 50 years and⩾ 280 U/L in …

Background. Resistance exercise is emerging as a potential adjunct therapy to aid in the
management of breast cancer–related lymphedema (BCRL). However, the mechanisms …

Exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER) is an uncommon condition with a paucity of evidence-based
guidance for diagnosis, management, and return to duty or play. Recently, a clinical practice …
