Early assessment of exercise induced skeletal muscle injury using plasma fatty acid binding protein.
Why the study?
Is plasma fatty acid binding protein (FABP) a useful early marker for exercise-induced skeletal muscle injury compared to creatine kinase?

Implication
May support earlier FABP detection of exercise muscle injury than CK; leaves open validation for clinical differentiation from myocardial injury.
Structured PICO
Is plasma fatty acid binding protein (FABP) a useful early marker for exercise-induced skeletal muscle injury compared to creatine kinase?
P
Population
6 healthy physical education teacher trainees
I
Intervention
20 minutes of downhill running (16% incline; mean lactate 4 mmol/l; 70% VO2MAX)
O
Outcome
Plasma concentrations of fatty acid binding protein (FABP), myoglobin (Mb), and creatine kinase (CK)surrogate
Plasma FABP and myoglobin are earlier markers of exercise-induced skeletal muscle injury than creatine kinase, and their ratio can help differentiate skeletal from myocardial injury.
