Antiplatelet Therapy in Marathon Runners: More Harm than Benefits?
2013
We read with interest the article by Arthur J. Siegel, who recently concluded that prophylactic aspirin for primary prevention of cardiac events in marathon runners may be a viable approach for lowering the global risk of cardiovascular events in these subjects. Although there is a credible hysiological basis for supporting this provocative suggesion, and the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is requent in athletes, there are, however, some issues that hould be considered, and which would globally overwhelm he hypothetical advantages of antiplatelet therapy in this eculiar setting. First, there is no controlled, randomized study that has efinitely proven the existence of any poten…
Recovery of Inflammation, Cardiac, and Muscle Damage Biomarkers After Running a Marathon
2019
Bernat-Adell, MD, Collado-Boira, EJ, Moles-Julio, P, Panizo-González, N, Martínez-Navarro, I, Hernando-Fuster, B, and Hernando-Domingo, C. Recovery of inflammation, cardiac and muscle damage biomarkers after running a marathon. J Strength Cond Res 35(3): 626-632, 2021-Physical endurance sports conditions the increase of blood biomarkers responsible for the acute inflammatory response. The purpose of this study was to observe the impact of intense physical exercise on these biomarkers and detect their recovery pattern. This is an experimental study of repeated measures (pre-post marathon). The biomarkers lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TNT),…
Muscle cramping in the marathon: dehydration and electrolyte depletion vs. muscle damage
2020
Martinez-Navarro, I, Montoya-Vieco, A, Collado, E, Hernando, B, Panizo, N, and Hernando, C. Muscle Cramping in the marathon: Dehydration and electrolyte depletion vs. muscle damage. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2020-Our aim was to compare dehydration variables, serum electrolytes, and muscle damage serum markers between runners who suffered exercise-associated muscle cramps (EAMC) and runners who did not suffer EAMC in a road marathon. We were also interested in analyzing race pacing and training background. Nighty-eight marathoners took part in the study. Subjects were subjected to a cardiopulmonary exercise test. Before and after the race, blood and urine samples were collected and…
On the correlation of psychological characteristics within recreational marathon runners
2015
Oschwald Miles, 2015. On the Correlation of Psychological Characteristics Within Recreational Marathon Runners. Master’s Thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Science. University of Jyväskylä. University of Jyväskylä. 40 p. The purpose of this research study was to explore the performance related experiences of recreational marathon runners. Specifically, the relationship these experiences have with other psychological constructs involved in undertaking and maintaining participation in a given sport. Using self-report measures the psychobiosocial states prior to most successful performances, achievement goal orientations, motivation and regulation for sport participat…
