Changes in plasma creatinine (Pl-Creat), glucose, total proteins (Pl-TP), creatine kinase (Pl-CK), lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase and packed cell volume were evaluated untrained Beagle dogs before, during after a 60 min race at an average speed of 9 km/h. There was no major effect exercise on those parameters except, when phases are compared, slight increase Pl-TP (max. + 6.4%), moderate but (delayed Pl-CK max. 245%) decrease Pl-Creat -9.6%). It therefore concluded that strenuous sedentary did not induce variations any routine variables measured would lead to clinically relevant misinterpretation. However, for Pl-CK, the interpretation repeated measures may be misleading if two samples collected same animal before exercise.
