PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Immediately pre-exercise, immediately post-exercise, 24 hours post-exercise, 48 hours post-exercise

Population: Number analyzed for 48 hour post-exercise change is 1 less than total sample due to a blood sample that was not able to be analyzed at the final time point

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Immediately pre-exercise, immediately post-exercise, 24 hours post-exercise, 48 hours post-exercise

Population: There is a discrepancy in the number of participants analyzed because one participant's samples were unable to be analyzed at all time points. One additional participant had a sample that was missing at the final time point.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Day 2, Day 3

Population: One subject declined to collect 24hr urine at any time during the study. One subject did not provide an adequate sample for the baseline measurement (therefore no change scores could be calculated from baseline at either of the follow up points). Two additional subjects did not return complete collections on the final day of measurement

SECONDARY outcome

Subjective perception of muscle pain. The participant responds to 15 word prompts designed to describe types of pain (e.g., "shooting"), with "none", "mild", "moderate", or "severe". These are scored as 0, 1, 2, and 3 respectively. A participant's Pain Score is the cumulative score for all prompt responses added together. As a participant's total score increases this denotes greater subjective feeling of pain which may be associated with the above markers of skeletal muscle and/or kidney damage. The minimum score for this questionnaire is 0 and the maximum score is 45. Typically, the total score is only reported. However, if there are prompts (i.e., subscales) that are consistently rated high or low, we will report these as a way to further describe the type of pain that is being reported (e.g., "throbbing" versus "sharp"). This will only be done after the total score is reported.
