Prolonged unaccustomed exercise involving muscle lengthening (eccentric) actions can
result in ultrastructural muscle disruption, impaired excitation–contraction coupling …

Extreme or unaccustomed eccentric exercise can cause exercise-induced muscle damage,
characterized by structural changes involving sarcomere, cytoskeletal, and membrane …

Schoenfeld, BJ. Does exercise-induced muscle damage play a role in skeletal muscle
hypertrophy? J Strength Cond Res 26 (5): 1441–1453, 2012—Exercise-induced muscle …

A common null polymorphism (rs1815739; R577X) in the gene that codes for α-actinin-3
(ACTN3) has been related to different aspects of exercise performance. Individuals who are …

Strenuous exercise results in damage to skeletal muscle that is manifested in delayed
muscle pain, prolonged strength loss, and increases in muscle proteins in the blood …

One of the remarkable features of skeletal muscle is its adaptability. Skeletal muscle
adaptations are characterized by modifications of morphological, biochemical, and …

Skeletal muscle comprises the largest organ system in the human body and is essential for
force generation and movement. Skeletal muscle is subjected to considerable stresses …

Skeletal muscle is a dynamic tissue that responds adaptively to both the nature and intensity
of muscle use. This phenotypic plasticity ensures that muscle structure is linked to patterns of …

Purpose: in the last two decades, several evidences have been provided to support the
relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms and the susceptibility to develop …

The response of skeletal muscle to unaccustomed eccentric exercise has been studied
widely, yet it is incompletely understood. This review is intended to provide an up‐to‐date …
