Abstract

Aims: To investigate the serum levels of the enzyme creatine kinase in non-professional cyclists after a non-competitive cycling race of 300 km, for evaluation of muscle damage.

Methods: The study included 12 male cyclists, with the following means for the anthropometric parameters: age 38.1±11.5 years, height 1.77±7.7 cm, weight 77±8.5 kg, fat percentage 12.0±4.1%, and body mass index 24.7±2.6 kg/m². Serum levels of creatine kinase were assessed before and immediately after the race, through kinetic method.

Results: The study showed that after the 300 km race there was an average increase of 480% in serum levels of creatine kinase (p<0.0001). No correlation was found between creatine kinase levels and body mass index or time of race.

Conclusions: These data show increase in serum levels of creatine kinase after a non-competitive cycling race of 300 km, suggesting the presence of muscle damage in this cycling mode.
