Influence of physical activity on the level of cardiac troponins (literature review)

It is well known that regular physical activity has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system and reduces the risk of heart disease; however, numerous studies have shown an increase in heart troponin levels after exercise, which indicates damage to the myocardium in apparently healthy people. The prevalence of these results in various exercise conditions and population groups, as well as the potential underlying mechanisms and clinical significance of exercise-induced cardiac troponin release, has not yet been fully determined. This review discusses the effect of exercise on cardiac troponin levels and possible mechanisms for increasing these biomarkers.
