    high force eccentric exercise. They found that the stretch-shortening cycle(SSC) what occurs during a drop jump, causes muscle damage in the muscle and therefore contributes to DOMS and is similar to the damage done by running. The appearance of Creatine Kinase in the blood following exercise has been used as an indirect measure of muscle damage and a study by Clarkson & Hubal (2002) looked into various different markers of muscle damage in the blood and CK was investigated compared to other blood

    in 33% of patients suffering from this skeletal muscle syndrome (Torres et. al, 2015). Skeletal muscle tissues release toxins that can cause buildup within the kidneys. The large amount of toxins that were accumulated within the kidneys are serum creatine kinase, creatinine, potassium, and calcium as well as myoglobin (Chatzizisis et. al, 2008). The accumulation of myoglobin is nephrotoxic to the kidneys. Hypovolemia is another factor that leads to renal hypo perfusion (Chatzizisis et. al, 2008).
