Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how ultra-marathon (UM) running affects cardiac biomarkers compared to traditional marathon (M) running, focusing on myocyte necrosis and hemodynamic stress.
- Fifteen well-trained endurance athletes participated, with significant increases in biomarkers like Troponin I and creatine kinase after the UM compared to the M, indicating greater cardiac stress from longer exercise durations.
- Results show that ultra-marathon running leads to notably higher levels of cardiac injury and congestion markers, suggesting extended exercise duration has a pronounced effect on heart health.
