High levels of statistical heterogeneity and methodological variability exist in the majority of EICF studies. Our findings show that exercise intensity and age are the most powerful determinants of cTn release. Diastolic function is influenced by exercise HR and cTn release, which implies that exercise bouts at high intensities are enough to elicit cTn release and reduce LV diastolic function. Future EICF studies should (1) utilise specific echocardiographic techniques such as myocardial speckle tracking, (2) ensure participants are euhydrated during post-exercise measurements, and (3) repeat measures in the hours following exercise to assess symptom progression or recovery. It is also recommended to further explore the relationship between aging, training history, and exercise intensity on cTn release and functional changes.
