AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the release of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) varies among basketball players during and after a simulated match.
- Thirty-six players (elite, amateur, and junior) were tested for cTnI levels before the match and at several points post-exercise, revealing an overall increase in cTnI levels.
- Results indicate that elite and junior players had higher cTnI levels compared to amateur players, and 26% of the athletes exceeded the normal reference limit for cTnI after exercise.
Article Abstract
Background: Available scientific data related to cardiac troponin I (cTnI) release after intermittent exercise is limited. It is also of interest to determine what personal or environmental factors mediate the exercise-induced release of cTnI. This study had two objectives: 1) to examine the individual release of cTnI to a basketball match; and 2) to establish the influence of athlete status as well as biological age on cTnI release.
Methods: Thirty-six basketball players (12 adult elite [PBA]: 27.3±4.1 years, 12 adult amateur [ABA]: 29.6±2.9 years, and 12 junior elite [JBA]: 16.6±0.9 years) participated in a simulated basketball match with serial assessment of cTnI at rest, immediately post- and at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h post-exercise.
Results: The basketball match increased cTnI levels (pre: median [range]; 0.006 [0.001-0.026]; peak post: 0.024 [0.004-0.244] μg/L; p=0.000), with substantial individual variability in peak values. PBA and JBA players showed higher baseline and post-exercise cTnI values than ABA (all p<0.05). Peak cTnI exceeded the upper reference limit (URL) in the 26% of players (3 PBA; 6 JBA).
Conclusions: The current results suggest that intermittent exercise can promote the appearance of cTnI and that this is potentially mediated by athlete status.

The pace of play, a critical tactical element in basketball, significantly influences offensive and defensive strategies. This study aimed to identify statistical indicators that differentiate winners from losers across varying game paces using a sample of 90 Olympic men's basketball games from 2016, 2021, and 2024. Games were categorized as fast-paced or slow-paced via clustering algorithms.

Background: In professional basketball, Jones fractures are among the most common cause of lower extremity stress injury. Despite its prevalence, there is a paucity of research on the impact of Jones fractures on athletic performance in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Purpose: To determine the impact of Jones fractures on return to play and performance among NBA players when compared with preinjury values and healthy matched controls.
Impact of anterior cruciate ligament tears on player efficiency ratings and salary in National Basketball Association over the past 20 years: a retrospective case control study.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Objectives: Players in the National Basketball Association (NBA) are at high risk for ACL tears which are detrimental to their career due to the months of rehabilitation. The authors hypothesize that after anterior crucial ligament (ACL) injury, older players will be less likely to return to the NBA, players that do return will have a lower performance efficiency rating (PER), and the decrease in PER will be associated with a lower salary.
Methods: This case-control study utilized the publicly available database maintained by the NBA, professional basketball players from 2002 to 2022 who suffered an ACL tear were identified.

Sports monitoring equipment that integrates advanced sensing technology has attracted widespread attention in recent years. Hence, we proposed a TPU/PLA 3D printing film triboelectric nanogenerator (TP-TENG) to monitor basketball player posture for training effectiveness evaluation. By introducing carbon fibers, TPU/PLA/Carbon film with conductive and positive triboelectric properties was prepared.
