KNIFIS, F. W.; SANTOS, L. C.; CORRêA, C. A.; ALBUQUERQUE A. C.; FERNANDES FILHO, J.; DANTAS, E. H. M. Anthropometric characteristics and relationship with exercise induced micro-injuries. Brazilian Journal of Biomotricity, v. 2, n. 2, p. 122-131, 2008. It’s been described that muscular stress induces micro-injuries and CK trafficking, the CK activity is the most indirect technique for muscular stress evaluation. This is the first study with compare serum CK activity after exercise and anthropometric data. The aim of this study was to correlation between Anthropometrics (body mass, fat free mass and somatotype) and CK concentration. Seventeen male athletes (n=17) were evaluate and donate blood samples. Immediately after, each performance 50 isokinetics leg extension (0 to 90 degrees). After 24 and 48 hours new blood samples were collected. The statistical analysis uses Pearson Correlation (p<0,05). They havepredominance in mesomorphie with positive and significative correlation between both (r2 = 0,83795, p = 0,01<0,05). Other anthopometrical data don`t have significative correlation with CK concentration. In conclusion, because the relationship between muscle mass, physical stress and serum CK activity doesn’t was possible the use of population reference values of CK concentration.
