Brief summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the association between the evolution of plasma CPK levels and genetic polymorphisms, both before the muscle-damaging exercise and at three post-exercise time points. The investigators aim to include 300 participants in this research.

Detailed description

Elite-level sports expose athletes to training loads designed to induce muscle damage, aiming to achieve optimal physiological adaptations. However, the repetitive nature of such damage increases the risk of injury. The ability to assess an athlete's susceptibility to fragility is therefore crucial for optimizing their training and performance. Genetic factors appear to play a significant role in the occurrence of these injuries, particularly through subtle variations in DNA sequences. Depending on the location of these variations within a gene, they may or may not alter the expression or function of the associated protein. The investigators aimed to investigate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms and biological parameters in the context of exercise-induced muscle damage.

MeasureTime frameDescription
The association between single nucleotide polymorphisms and exercise induced blood creatine kinase variationEvolution of kinetics from Day 0 to Day 3 post experimentAssociation between blood creatine kinase level variations and single nucleotide polymorphisms. The Outcome Measure in this study is focused on the variation in plasma CPK levels following an exercise inducing muscle damage. The result is expressed as a change in plasma CPK concentration, measured in units per liter (U/L). This single measurement is used to investigate its association with genetic polymorphisms. Therefore a regression analysis will be performed to identify the association. This study is exploratory and the genetic polymorphisms are not pre-identified but will be investigated through a comprehensive analysis.
