Effects of medium and long distance running on heart damage markers in amateur runners: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression

ConclusionEndurance running races induce the release of cardiac damage markers that remain elevated for at least 24 h after the race. In addition, young male athletes with high body mass index who perform races combining long duration and moderate intensity (i.e., marathons) release the highest levels of cardiac damage markers. Physicians should take into consideration these results in the diagnosis and treatment of patients admitted to the hospital days after finishing an endurance running race.Graphical Abstract
