Effects of medium- and long-distance running on cardiac damage markers in amateur runners: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and metaregression To finish a long-distance race, the athletes have an intensive effort that induces the release of markers for a heart muscle damage.There are several factors that can influence the total number of these markers. The aim of this study was therefore to analyze the impact of endurance races on markers for a heart muscle damage and identify the factors that change the degree of segregation of these markers. A systematic search in PubMed, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library databases has been performed.This analysis included studies in which the acute effects of races on markers were analyzed for a heart muscle damage (troponin I and troponin T), with the mirrors of these markers being evaluated before and after the races. The effects of races on troponin I and troponin T were significant.The age and body mass indices of the athletes had a significant interaction with troponin I. In addition, gender, mean speed, time until the end of the race and type of race influence the height of the markers for a heart muscle damage. Long-distance races lead to the release of markers for a heart muscle damage, which remain elevated after the races for at least 24 hours.In addition, young male athletes use high body mass indices that perform races that combine long duration and moderate intensity (marathons), the highest levels of markers for a heart muscle damage free.
Doctors should consider these results in the diagnosis and treatment of patients who have been hospitalized days after completing the long-distance races. The whole work can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33742602/
