This stress may result in clinical risks, including severe muscle damage and rhabdomyolysis. We aimed to document the effects of WLFFs\u2019 CT on physiologic markers of muscle damage and soreness. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> Two interagency hotshot crews (n=25) were followed during spring 2022 for 80 h of training. Activity counts as well as records of upper-body (US) and lower-body (LS) muscle soreness were collected daily. Body weight (BW) and skinfold measurements were recorded on Day 1 (D1) and D11 to estimate body fat (BF) and lean body weight (LBW). Blood was collected on D1 and D11 to measure muscle and liver damage markers. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Critical training resulted in significant elevations in creatine kinase (CK) (216.9\u00b157.4 U\/L vs 5166.4\u00b11927.8 U\/L, P=0.017) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (175.5\u00b14.0 IU\/L vs 340.0\u00b142.6 IU\/L, P=0.001) despite no significant changes in BW, BF, LBW, cortisol, or testosterone. Main effects of time were seen in US and LS, peaking on D11 (US: 5.2\u00b10.4 cm, P&lt;0.001; LS: 5.5\u00b10.4 cm, P&lt;0.001). Those who spent the most minutes with activity counts of &gt;1500 counts\/min showed the greatest increase in CK and LDH. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> These data suggest that WLFFs undergo significant physiologic stressors, resulting in muscle soreness and damage during CT, with 6 of the 25 subjects reaching critical levels of serum CK. It appears that much of the muscle damage and soreness occurred because of unaccustomed WLFF job-specific tasks. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wem.2023.04.004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,29]],"date-time":"2023-05-29T19:24:09Z","timestamp":1685388249000},"page":"334-340","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Twenty-Four Percent of Wildland Firefighters Reach Critical Levels of Serum Creatine Kinase During 80-Hour Critical Training"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Katherine S.","family":"Christison","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrative Physiology and Athletic Training, University of Montana, Missoula, MT"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph A.","family":"Sol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrative Physiology and Athletic Training, University of Montana, Missoula, MT"},{"name":"United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, National Technology and Development Program, Missoula, MT"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shae C.","family":"Gurney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrative Physiology and Athletic Training, University of Montana, Missoula, MT"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charles L.","family":"Dumke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrative Physiology and Athletic Training, University of Montana, Missoula, MT"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-j.wem.2023.04.004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005768-200206000-00023"},{"key":"bibr2-j.wem.2023.04.004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wem.2018.03.006"},{"key":"bibr3-j.wem.2023.04.004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wem.2014.12.010"},{"key":"bibr4-j.wem.2023.04.004","unstructured":"US Department of the Interior.
