Exercise-induced muscle damage is an important topic in exercise physiology. However,
several aspects of our understanding of how muscles respond to highly stressful exercise …

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 …

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

The ability of skeletal muscles to produce force at a high velocity, which is crucial for success
in power and sprint performance, is strongly influenced by genetics and without the …

Exertional (exercise-induced) rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life threatening condition that
has been the subject of research, intense discussion, and media attention. The causes of …

The study of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is of paramount importance not only
because it affects athletic performance but also because it is an excellent model to study the …

Rhabdomyolysis (RM) is a clinical emergency characterized by fulminant skeletal muscle
damage and release of intracellular muscle components into the blood stream leading to …

Exertional rhabdomyolysis is characterised by muscle breakdown associated with strenuous
exercise or normal exercise under extreme circumstances. Key features are severe muscle …

Abstract Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine that exerts its modulatory effects on
cells that express membrane bound IL-6 receptors; however, IL-6 in a complex with soluble …

Using the model originally developed by Williams and Folland (J Physiol 586: 113–121,
2008), we determined 1) a “total genotype score”(TGS, from the accumulated combination of …
