Abstract: | Summary The purpose of this study was to measure serum creatine kinase (CK) activity and serum myoglobin (MG) concentrations in women
after two unilateral isometric knee extension exercises. Forty maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) were held for 10 s, with
either a 5 s (10∶5) or 20 s 10∶20 exercise (349.4±66.1 mU · ml−1) and 6 h and MG values were measured pre, 0, 3, 6, and 18 h post exercise. For CK, the highest post exercise values were
observed at 6 h following the 10∶20 exercise (349.4±66.1 mU · ml−1) and 6 h following the 10∶5 exercise (194.1±18.6 mU · ml−1). For MG, the highest values were found 3 h after the 10∶20 exercise (148.9±61.7 ng · ml−1) and 6 h after the 10∶5 exercise (67.3±10.9 ng · ml−1). Serum CK and MG levels were significantly greater (p<0.01) after the 10∶20 exercise bout. The data demonstrate that CK and MG values for women increase significantly after isometric
exercise. Since greater tension levels were maintained during the 10∶20 exercise it is hypothesized that increased serum CK
and MG values after isometric exercise may be related to the tension generated by the contracting muscle. |
