Oremek and Sieffert (1) suggested that extensive physical activity increases prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentrations. They demonstrated the increase after a standardized exercise on a cycloergometer for 15 min at 75–100 W in many healthy men with different ages.

We performed PSA measurements during various sport performances to establish if strenuous exercise increases the serum PSA in young men.

We measured PSA on 30 men with a mean age of 27 years (range 18–45) participating in ultraendurance performances of different sports. Twelve men participated in the Pinè 24-h, an ultraendurance nonstop 24-h speed ice skating competition . . . [Full Text of this Article]
