In extreme exercise, the physiology of the human body is pushed to the extreme. During Norseman Xtreme Triathlon we have studied changes in the blood. We have measured clinical biomarkers used by doctors in the emergency room and at medical checkups.
We find that most of the biomarkers are changed after the race and some are changed to the extreme - to levels associated with serious disease under normal circumstances. We find increased biomarkers associated with cell damage (CK, AST), inflammation (WBC, CRP) and heart failure (NtproBNP). This is vital information for doctors treating athletes from extreme exercise events in cases of accidents or other illness. And it gives us important knowledge of the extremes the human body can endure.
