Purpose  Endurance runners training with high-intensity intermittent exercise might experience damage to cardiac muscle. We have therefore compared changes of cardiac biomarkers after workload-matched intermittent and continuous exercise.    Methods  Twelve endurance runners [11 males, 1 female; means ± SDV  .    O 2  max , 62.4 ± 5.4 ml kg –1  min –1 ; velocity ofV  .    O 2  max  (vV  .    O 2  max ), 17.1 ± 1.4 km h –1 ] completed an intermittent and continuous exercise trial in random order. Intermittent exercise consisted of running at 90% v    V  .    O 2  max  for 2 min followed by 50% v    V  .    O 2  max  for 2 min, repeated for 92 min. Continuous exercise was performed at 70% v    V  .    O 2  max  for 92 min. Blood samples were drawn before and 0, 2, 4, 24, and 48 h after exercise for assay of various cardiac biomarkers. Changes in concentration of biomarkers were averaged for the comparison of intermittent with continuous exercise after adjustment for baseline concentration and exercise intensity expressed as percent of heart-rate reserve (%HRR); magnitudes were assessed by standardization.    Results  There were moderate and large increases in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-I and -T respectively following exercise. The differences between the increases adjusted to the mean intensity of 78 %HRR were trivial, but at 85 %HRR the increases for cardiac troponin-I and -T were moderately higher for intermittent compared with continuous exercise (factor difference, ×/÷90% confidence limits: 3.4, ×/÷1.9 and 2.1, ×/÷1.8 respectively). Differences in the changes in other cardiac biomarkers were trivial.    Conclusion  Prolonged intermittent exercise is potentially more damaging to cardiac muscle than continuous exercise of the same average running speed at higher average heart rates in endurance runners.
