What do Creatine Kinase (CK) and Vertical Jump (CMJ) tell us about fatigue in elite soccer? This post is based on the article by Malone et al. “Decrements in neuromuscular performance and increases in creatine kinase impact training outputs in elite soccer players” (2018), which relates data obtained from external load analysis in training sessions […]
Biomarker response in professional football athletes after matches: a systematic review Creatine kinase (CK) is the most widely used biomarker in the assessment of muscle damage in professional football players, as it reflects the impact of the workload on muscle tissue. During a football match, players perform high-intensity movements such as sprints, changes of direction,

Creatine kinase (CK) is a key enzyme in ATP regeneration in tissues with high energy demand, such as skeletal muscle. Its measurement in blood is widely used as an indicator of post-exercise muscle damage, especially in high-intensity sports such as soccer. After physical exertion, CK is released into the bloodstream due to the breakdown of
