The Role of Volume Regulation and Thermoregulation in AKI during Marathon Running.

Background And Objectives: Marathon runners develop transient AKI with urine sediments and injury biomarkers suggesting nephron damage.

Design, Setting, Participants, & Measurements: To investigate the etiology, we examined volume and thermoregulatory responses as possible mechanisms in runners' AKI using a prospective cohort of runners in the 2017 Hartford Marathon. Vitals, blood, and urine samples were collected in 23 runners 1 day premarathon and immediately and 1 day postmarathon.

The influence of non-modifiable and modifiable factors on cardiac biomarkers after marathon running.

Background: This study investigated the influence of modifiable (training) and non-modifiable factors (age and gender) on cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels post-marathon.

Methods: Thirteen female and nine male recreational runners participated in the 2015 Hartford Marathon. A venous blood draw was taken from each subject at 24 hours pre-race, immediately post-race and 24 hours post-race.

Kidney Injury and Repair Biomarkers in Marathon Runners.

Background: Investigation into strenuous activity and kidney function has gained interest given increasing marathon participation.

Study Design: Prospective observational study.

Setting & Participants: Runners participating in the 2015 Hartford Marathon.

Common electrocardiogram variations pre- and post-marathon.

Electrocardiographic changes can be present in marathon runners. These findings may be misinterpreted as malignant by healthcare providers. For example, incomplete right bundle branch block, early ventricular repolarization, and left ventricular hypertrophy by voltage criteria alone are quite common in athletes, yet considered benign.

Impact of age on haematological markers pre- and post-marathon running.

This study investigated whether haematological markers differ between young and masters marathon participants, running at similar performance levels. Nine young (31.89 ± 4.

The effect of Pilates based exercise on mobility, postural stability, and balance in order to decrease fall risk in older adults.

Falls are a common problem in older adults. Impaired balance, mobility and postural stability are risk factors for falling. Limited research has been performed on Pilates exercise and the ability to decrease fall risk.
