Table 1.
Age, anthropometric characteristics, best race time in the marathon, running experience, and training status of runners with low and high CK responses after a marathon.
Data are mean ± SD.
Table 2.
Studied polymorphisms in amateur marathon runners.
Genotype scores have been based on previous research as follows: 2 = optimal genotype; 1 = standard genotype; 0 = suboptimal genotype for muscle damage during exercise.

Serum Creatine Kinase (CK) and myoglobin concentrations before and after a marathon competition in low and high CK responders.
Data are mean ± SD. (*) Different from low CK responders at P < 0.01.
Table 3.
Pre-to-post-race changes in serum CK, myoglobin concentration and jump height, race time and self-reported fatigue and muscle pain of runners with low and high CK responses after a marathon.
Data are mean ± SD.
