We investigated the effect of a 28 km mountain run on cardiac troponin I (cTnI), in relation to training, performance, nutritional, biochemical and echocardiography variables, in a group of 25 recreational male master athletes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A comprehensive list of variables related with nutrition, training, performance and echocardiography, was collected pre- and post-race. Twenty-four months later, outcomes regarding cardiovascular events were obtained. RESULTS: Serum cTnI values were increased after the race, with mean values rising from 7.2 +/- 2.2 (before) to 80.0 +/- 33.2 ng/L (post race), (p &lt; 0.001) and 23/25(92%) exceeding Upper Reference limit (50 ng/L). Echocardiography did not reveal significant alterations, or correlations with cTnI values. The percentage difference in hs-cTnI concentrations pre- and post-race correlated positively with age, race-induced changes of selected muscle damage indices, resistance training volume and negatively with endurance capacity and training volume (r: -0.727 to 0.725, p &lt; 0.05). All athletes reported no cardiovascular event during the 24-month period post-race. CONCLUSION: cTnI elevation induced by a 28 km mountain running race was not correlated with echocardiographic, nutritional parameters and was less pronounced in athletes with larger endurance training history, in contrast with resistance training and age</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IS - 1366-5804 (Electronic)IS - 1354-750X (Linking)LA - engPT - Journal ArticleRN - 0 (Biomarkers)RN - 0 (Troponin I)SB - IM</style></notes></record></records></xml>
