Your creatine kinase (CK) levels are related to muscle breakdown. After any exercise, particularly a strenuous workout, your CK levels will be much higher due to the strain placed on the body and consequent muscle breakdown. CK levels can rise uncontrollably, usually indicating a type of muscle dystrophy is occurring. If the levels do not return to normal, it signifies that muscle breakdown has not ceased. This in turn reduces the muscle's ability to function, creating a weakness.
