There have been a multitude of reviews written on exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD)
and recovery. EIMD is a complex area of study as there are a host of factors such as sex …

Muscle fatigue is an exercise-induced reduction in maximal voluntary muscle force. It may
arise not only because of peripheral changes at the level of the muscle, but also because …
