Factors associated with exercise intensity. Forest plot presents the adjusted Odds Ratios (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) for variables retained in the final model following a backwards stepwise regression analysis. The vertical dashed line at OR = 1 represents the null effect. The model was adjusted for CKMB, LDH, AST, ALT, Urea, Phosphorus, Lymphocyte and Eosinophil count, Androsterone, Etiocholanolone, Epitestoterone. Only parameters that persisted in the last step are shown. P-value in bold font are statistically significant. Participants were classified as Moderate Muscular Response (CK < 1000 U/L) or Exacerbated Muscular Response (CK ≥ 1000 U/L) Abbreviations: ALT = Alanine Aminotransferase, AST = Aspartate Aminotransferase, CK = Creatine Kinase, CKMB = Creatine Kinase Muscle-Brain, LDH = Lactate Dehydrogenase.
