• Skeletal muscle adapts to exercise-induced muscle damage in such a way that it is
protected from subsequent damaging stimuli. This phenomenon is widely known as the …

Echo intensity is the mean pixel intensity of a specific region of interest from an ultrasound
image. This variable has been increasingly used in the literature as a physiological marker …

Skeletal muscle responds to exercise-induced damage by orchestrating an adaptive
process that protects the muscle from damage by subsequent bouts of exercise, a …

Introduction An initial bout of eccentric exercise is known to protect against muscle damage
following a repeated bout of the same exercise; however, the neuromuscular adaptations …

Purpose Acute high-intensity unaccustomed eccentric exercise performed by naive subjects
is accompanied by disturbances in muscle damage biomarkers. The aim of the study was to …

Background: The neuromuscular system is able to quickly adapt to exercise-induced muscle
damage (EIMD), such that it is less affected by subsequent damaging exercise, a …

The current consensus in exercise physiology is that the repeated bout effect always
appears after few eccentric exercise sessions. This is the first attempt to challenge this tenet …

We investigated the time course of neuromuscular and hypertrophic adaptations associated
with only four weeks of barbell squat and deadlift training. Forty-seven previously untrained …

Unaccustomed resistance exercise can initiate skeletal muscle remodeling and adaptive
mechanisms that can confer protection from damage and enhanced strength with …

Isometric exercise is often prescribed during rehabilitation from injury to maintain muscle
condition and prevent disuse atrophy. However, such exercise can lead to muscle soreness …
