Strenuous exercise is a potent stimulus to induce beneficial skeletal muscle adaptations,
ranging from increased endurance due to mitochondrial biogenesis and angiogenesis, to …

Eccentric contraction (ECC) often results in large and long-lasting force deficits
accompanied by muscle soreness, primarily due to muscle damage. In this sense, exercises …

Purpose This study investigated whether combining eccentric exercise and green tea
supplementation synergistically increased nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) …

Purpose: Monitoring fatigue is now commonly performed in athletes as it can directly impact
performance and may further increase the risk of injury or overtraining syndrome. Among the …

New Finding What is the central question of this study? Does low frequency muscle fatigue
indicate a failure of excitation–contraction coupling after eccentric exercise, or is it simply …

Unaccustomed eccentric (ECC) exercise induces muscle fatigue as well as damage and
initiates a protective response to minimize impairments from a subsequent bout (ie, repeated …

Key points We examined the mechanisms underlying the positive effect of preconditioning
contractions (PCs) on the recovery of muscle force after damaging eccentric contractions …

Purpose To compare the acute physiological responses of three different very low-volume
cycling sessions (6× 5 s, 3× 30 s, and 3× 60 s) and their dependence on age and training …

Prolonged low-frequency force depression (PLFFD) after damaging eccentric exercise may
last for several days. Historically, PLFFD has been calculated from the tetanic force …

Objective High‐force eccentric contractions (ECCs) have traditionally been excluded from
rehabilitation programs that include patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) …
