With regard to kidney tissue, the considerable responsiveness to concentric exercise (Figure 1) was indeed expected, if one considers there was an increase in blood pressure and glomerular pressure, resulting in turn, from a variety of factors such as dehydration, hyperfiltration of damaged enzymes and other proteins originated in the micro-lesions (Bassit et al., 2008; Egermann et al., 2003; Fallon et al., 2001; Noakes, 1987).
