The best example for this is sled training, which lacks a lengthening, eccentric muscle motion that's mainly responsible for tissue damage, thereby resulting with
lower creatine kinase (the key marker of muscle damage) levels than traditional weight training.
Not exact matches
The results were conclusive: runners with a higher genetic score had
lower levels of
creatine kinase and myoglobin in their blood, that is, less damage to muscle fibres, compared to marathon runners with a less favourable score.
ABI indicates ankle - brachial index; ALT, alanine transaminase; ASCVD, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; CAC, coronary artery calcium; CK,
creatine kinase; FH, familial hypercholesterolemia; LDL - C,
low - density lipoprotein cholesterol; MI, myocardial infarction; RCT, randomized controlled trial; and ULN, upper limit of normal.
The study found athletes had significantly
lower blood lactate levels and plasma
creatine kinase levels (this is a marker of protein regulation and overtraining).
