Abstrakt: Exercise-induced muscle injury is one of the most common types of sports injuries. Skeletal muscle troponin I (skTnI) serves as an ideal biomarker in assessing such injuries, facilitating timely detection and evaluation. In this study, we develop a fluorescent sandwich lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) combined with a desktop analyzer for rapid detection of skTnI. Through optimizing the reaction system, the assay achieves a satisfying detection performance, reaching a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.5 ng/mL with a turnaround time of 15 min. The proposed detection platform offers portability, ease of use, and high sensitivity, which facilitates the monitoring of exercise-induced muscle injuries at the point of care. This feature is particularly advantageous for end users, enabling timely detection of sports-related injuries and ultimately enhancing prognosis and sports life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
