Key result
Intense physical effort increases the plasma levels of cTnT, MPO, and NT-proBNP, whereas regular sport activities tend to decrease CRP and oxLDL levels.

Intense exercise effects on cardiac markers warrant monitoring caution; leaves open long-term outcome implications for athletes.
Does intense physical exercise alter plasma levels of cardiovascular risk markers?
While intense physical exercise transiently increases cardiac biomarkers like cTnT and NT-proBNP, regular exercise lowers inflammatory and lipid markers, remaining a primary strategy for cardiovascular prevention.
Goff et al. (2012) conducted a review in Cardiovascular risk markers. Intense physical exercise vs. Rest or regular physical activity was evaluated on Plasma levels of cardiovascular risk markers (cTnT, MPO, NT-proBNP, CRP, oxLDL). Intense physical effort increases the plasma levels of cTnT, MPO, and NT-proBNP, whereas regular sport activities tend to decrease CRP and oxLDL levels.
