Title: thirty minutes after 25-km Post by: jannah13 on May 24, 2014 Thirty minutes after you complete a 25-km race, you begin to notice severe muscle soreness and stiffness in your legs. Your urine is dark colored, and you wonder whether you may have damaged your muscles during the race. When you visit the ER the doctor orders several blood tests. What kind of blood tests can help determine whether muscle damage has occurred?

The level of these substances correlates with the severity of the injury.
