Long-term within- and between-subject biological variation of 29 routine laboratory measurands in athletes

What is it about?

There are no "Biological Variation Data Critical Appraisal Checklist" compliant studies performed in an athlete population. This study aimed to deliver monthly BV estimates of 29 routine laboratory measurands including proteins, liver enzymes, lipids and kidney-related measurands, applying a BIVAC compliant design in a population of well-characterized high-endurance athletes. Additionally, we aimed to evaluate the possible influence of specific factors related to exercise, health, and sampling intervals on the BV estimates.
