Differences according to training level 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The status of trail running races has exponentially grown in recent years. The present study aimed to: (a) evaluate the acute response of ultratrail racing in terms of neuromuscular function, muscle damage and hydration status; (b) analyze if responses could differ according to training levels. Twenty runners participated in the present study. The participants were divided into amateur training level (n = 10; 43.30 ± 4.52 years) or high level competitors (n = 10; 41.40 ± 6.18). Neuromuscular response (squat jump, countermovement jump and Abalakov jump), muscle damage (alanine aminotransferase, bilirubin, creatine kinase and leukocytes) and hydration status (sodium and creatinine) were evaluated before and after the Guara Somontano Ultratrail Race (108 km distance, with an accumulated slope of 5800 m). The height and power achieved by vertical jumps were lower after the race (p < 0.001). The post-race muscle damage and creatinine parameters increased in both groups (p < 0.001). The high-level group obtained lower percentages of change in squat jump and countermovement jump than the amateur-level group (p < 0.05). However, the increase in creatinine was greater for the high-level group (p < 0.05). Ultratrail racing reduces neuromuscular function and increases muscle damage. High-level runners showed less neuromuscular fatigue compared to amateur ones. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 4.614 2021 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 45 / 182 = 0.247 2021 Q1 T1 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 71 / 210 = 0.338 2021 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 100 / 279 = 0.358 2021 Q2 T2 0.814 2021 Pollution 2021 Q1 Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis 2021 Q1 4.5 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Falcón Miguel, David Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-9252-6971 Peñarrubia Lozano, Carlos Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3776-2901 Toro Román, Víctor Carrasco Páez, Luis Castellar Otín, Carlos Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-1121-6408 3001 187 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
