Training status and recent maximal exercise warrant caution in biomarker interpretation; leaves open the impact on diagnostic thresholds for athletes.
Does a maximal exercise test and training status affect the analytical variability of muscular, hepatic, and cardiovascular biochemical variables in males?
Maximal exercise testing and baseline training status can cause transient or sustained elevations in specific cardiac and muscular biomarkers, which should be considered to avoid misinterpreting them as pathological.
Romagnoli et al. (2014) studied this question.
