The Claim
In recreationally strength-trained males and females, the increase in urinary titin fragment (UTF) 48 hours after eccentric exercise does not differ significantly between sexes, with no significant group or interaction effects (p > 0.05), indicating that UTF may serve as a similarly responsive biomarker of muscle damage in both males and females.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
After a tough workout, men and women who regularly lift weights show similar levels of a muscle damage marker in their urine, suggesting it works just as well for tracking muscle soreness in both sexes.
