CK variability after eccentric exercise tracks muscle damage extent; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Does the variability in serum creatine kinase response after eccentric exercise correlate with muscle damage indicators in healthy males?
The large inter-subject variability in serum creatine kinase response after eccentric exercise is strongly correlated with the degree of exercise-induced muscle damage.
Nosaka et al. (1996) studied this question.
