  1. AA group: Participants received Advanced Ambrotose Complex Powder (AA) supplementation prior the race
  2. Non-AA group: Participants did not received any AA supplement prior the race
  3. CK creatine kinase, CRP C-reactive protein, HGB hemoglobin, Hs-TnT high-sensitivity troponin T, NT-proBNP N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide
  4. Values are reported as mean ± SD for the quantitative and in percentage for the categorical. ANOVA test was used for parametric variables; Kruskal Wallis test was used for non parametric variables; Chi-Square Pearson for categorical variables
