Unaccustomed exercise consisting of eccentric (ie, lengthening) muscle contractions often
results in muscle damage characterized by ultrastructural alterations in muscle tissue …

One of the most striking adaptations to exercise is the skeletal muscle hypertrophy that
occurs in response to resistance exercise. A large body of work shows that a mammalian …

Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is characterized by symptoms that present both
immediately and for up to 14 days after the initial exercise bout. The main consequence of …

Skeletal muscle contracts either by shortening or lengthening (concentrically or
eccentrically, respectively); however, the two contractions substantially differ from one …

Muscle thickness (MT) measured by ultrasound has been used to estimate cross‐sectional
area (measured by CT and MRI) at a single time point. We tested whether MT could be used …

Resistance training (RT)-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy is a highly intricate process.
Despite substantial advances, we are far from understanding exactly how muscle …

Eccentric contractions, characterized by the lengthening of the muscle-tendon complex,
present several unique features compared with other types of contractions, which may lead …

• Skeletal muscle adapts to exercise-induced muscle damage in such a way that it is
protected from subsequent damaging stimuli. This phenomenon is widely known as the …

All nations which have undergone a nutrition transition have experienced increased
frequency and falling latency of chronic degenerative diseases, which are largely driven by …

Purpose This review provides an overview of the current knowledge of the nutritional
strategies to treat the signs and symptoms related to EIMD. These strategies have been …
