This study investigated whether muscle damage induced by a drop jump protocol varies based on participants' body weight and BMI. Fifty healthy adults were divided into normal-weight and overweight groups. All participants completed a standardized drop jump protocol, and blood samples were collected before, immediately after, and 24 hours after exercise. Creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were analyzed as biomarkers of muscle damage.
