Why the study?
The study aimed to examine the effect of 1-day and 2-day adventure races on cardiac muscle damage as well as skeletal muscle soreness and function in young athletes.
Does a 1-day adventure race compared to a 2-day adventure race increase cardiac damage biomarker release in trained male adolescents?
Comparison
1-day (48.2 km) vs 2-day (66.0 km) adventure races separated by 10 weeks
Follow-up
72 h post-race

May warrant caution in youth endurance events; leaves open clinical relevance of biomarker changes.
Does a 1-day adventure race compared to a 2-day adventure race increase cardiac damage biomarker release in trained male adolescents?
Shorter, more intense adventure races produce greater transient cardiac biomarker release in adolescent athletes compared to longer, less intense races, likely reflecting a physiological rather than pathological response.
