We sought to determine if the velocity of an acute bout of eccentric contractions influenced
the duration and severity of several common indirect markers of muscle damage. Subjects …

Debate exists concerning the effect of contraction velocity on muscle damage, and few
human studies have yet to address this issue. This study examined whether the velocity of …

This study examined markers of muscle damage following a repeated bout of maximal
isokinetic eccentric exercise performed prior to full recovery from a previous bout. Twenty …

This study examined the time courses of recovery for isometric peak torque and rate of
torque development (RTD) after eccentric-induced muscle damage. 18 men completed 6 …

This study examined eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage and rapid adaptation.
Twenty-two male subjects performed 70 eccentric actions with the knee extensors. Group A …

ABSTRACT NOSAKA, K., K. SAKAMOTO, M. NEWTON, and P. SACCO. How long does the
protective effect on eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage last? Med. Sci. Sports …

Objectives: Large inter-subject variability in responses to eccentric exercise has been
reported. This study investigated the hypothesis that the variability of changes in indirect …

Eccentric muscle contractions generate delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), possibly
as a result of the high tensions involved causing muscle damage. Muscle function, serum …

This study tested the hypothesis that changes in indirect markers of muscle damage
following maximal eccentric exercise would be smaller for the knee extensors (KE) and …

Indirect markers of muscle damage and collagen breakdown were recorded for up to 9 days
after a bout of concentric, followed by a bout of eccentric, muscle actions. Nine untrained …
