What is it about?

Does exercise training impact resting and post-exercise cardiac troponin T (cTnT) concentration?

Why is it important?

This randomized controlled intervention study demonstrated that 12 weeks of either high-intensity interval training or moderate-intensity continuous training largely abolished the exercise-induced elevation in cTnT when exercise was performed at the same absolute intensity. There was no impact of training on resting cTnT or post-exercise cTnT appearance when exercise was performed at the same relative intensity. These findings provide new information that may help clinicians with decision-making in relation to basal and post-exercise values of cTnT in individuals with different training status.
