The objective of this study was to compare the release of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) after a
football 7 match between two cohorts of children and adult players. Thirty-six male football players
(children = 24, adult = 12) played a football 7 match, and cTnT was measured before, and 3 h after
exercise. Concentrations of cTnT were compared between groups and time, and correlated with
participants’ characteristics, as well as internal and external exercise load. Cardiac troponin T was
elevated in all participants (p < 0.001), and exceeded the upper reference limit for myocardial infarction
in 25 (~70%) of them. Baseline concentrations were higher in adults (p < 0.001), but the elevation
of cTnT was comparable between the groups (p = 0.37). Age (p < 0.001), body mass (p = 0.001) and
height (p < 0.001), and training experience (p = 0.001) were associated to baseline cTnT values,
while distance (p < 0.001), mean speed (p < 0.001), and peak (p = 0.013) and mean (p = 0.016) heart
rate were associated to the elevation of cTnT. The present study suggests that a football 7 match
evoked elevations of cTnT during the subsequent hours in healthy players regardless of their age.
However, adults might present higher resting values of cTnT than children. In addition, results
suggest that the exercise-induced elevations of cTnT might be mediated by exercise load but not
participant characteristics.
