The use of cold-water immersion (CWI) for postexercise recovery has become increasingly
prevalent in recent years, but there is a dearth of strong scientific evidence to support the …

We investigated the physiological consequences of one of the most extreme exercises
realized by humans in race conditions: a 166-km mountain ultra-marathon (MUM) with 9500 …

Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) leads to decrements in muscle performance and
increases in intramuscular enzymes measured in the plasma, and to delayed onset of …

We tested the hypothesis that improved physiological symptoms of passively induced heat
acclimation (HA) might impair the impact of hyperthermia on central fatigue and …

Background An immediate loss of strength follows virtually all types of muscle injury but
there is debate whether the initial strength loss is maximal or if a secondary loss of strength …

Context: Whether muscle warming protects against exercise-induced muscle damage is
unknown. Objective: To determine the effect of leg immersion in warm water before stretch …

The aim of this study was to determine the acute neuromuscular, biochemical and endocrine
responses to a maximal speed training (MST) session. Eighteen male rugby players …

The aim of the present study was to compare the time-course of indirect symptoms of
exercise-induced muscle damage after 50 and 100 drop jumps. A high-force, low intensity …

The primary aim of the present study was to examine the effect of eccentric exercise-induced
(100 submaximal eccentric contractions at an angular velocity of 60° s–1, with 20-s rest …

The study examined the differences between boys and adults after an intense stretch-
shortening cycle fatigue protocol on neuromechanical parameters of the lower limb. Thirteen …
