OBJECTIVES: We tested the hypothesis that fast skeletal muscle troponin I (fsTnI)
concentration in serum would increase more than those of slow skeletal muscle troponin I
(ssTnI) after eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors using a sensitive blood marker to track
fibre specific muscle damage. DESIGN: Observational comparison of response in a single
experimental group. METHODS: Eight young men (26.4±6.2 years) performed 210 (35 sets
of 6) eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors on an isokinetic dynamometer with one arm …
