The Effects of Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage With or Without Omega-3 Supplementation on Inflammation, Muscle Function and Recovery in Healthy Physically Active Younger and Older Adults
… response. Whilst exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is well defined in the literature in healthy younger populations, research into older individuals is lacking. The diversity of exercise protocols used also for younger populations may not be suited to older adults. Omega-3 (n-3) …

Magnetic resonance elastography studies of human skeletal muscle
… to produce Exercise Induced Muscle Damage (EIMD). Methodological advances made throughout this work include moving from 2D to 3D MRE data acquisition protocols and the application of advanced inversion software to extract muscle viscoelastic properties from the acquired MRE data. Results …

The Physiological and Genetic Factors Underpinning the Response to Muscle Damaging Exercise
… the response to exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), even when tested in a homogeneous cohort accounting for age, sex, ethnicity and physical activity. The response to EIMD is very complex as several tissues, including skeletal muscle fibres, the extra-cellular matrix (ECM), and tendon, play a …

An Evaluation of the Effects of Whole Body Cryotherapy Treatment for Sports Recovery and Performance
… for treating exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is unclear. Secondly, the influence of inter-individual factors on WBC outcomes post-exercise remains an under-investigated area. Therefore the first main study explored the effects of age and body fat content on responses to WBC following …

The effect of whey protein-polyphenol on the recovery of muscle function and strength following eccentric exercise- the myogenic and neural contributions to eccentric exercise.
… of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), the complete mechanistic underpinning of EIMD remains to be fully determined, particularly with respect to the neuromuscular junction's influence on recovery during an acute 3-hour period and more prolonged 24-hour and 48-hour periods. …

The association between exercise-induced muscle damage and cortical activity in the alpha and beta frequency range
… following exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), in an attempt to determine whether regulation occurs primarily in the muscle (neuromuscular) or further upstream. Upstream regulation has been hypothesized to occur in the lower brain structures, but one may assume that the efferent output to …

Effect of a Protein-Carbohydrate Beverage on Muscle Damage During an Acute Bout of Concurrent Exercise in Competitively-Training “Crossfit” Men
… mid-workout on exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) as determined by blood levels of creatine kinase (CK), myoglobin and fast-twitch skeletal muscle troponin-I (sTnI). Eight competitive “Crossfit” men (age, 27.4 + 1.9 yrs; height, 180.4 + 2.4 cm; weight, 92.7 + 3.9 kg; body fat, 15.8 + 1.9 %; …

ENHANCING EXERCISE PERFORMANCE THROUGH ISCHAEMIC PRECONDITIONING
… responses after exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD; often lasting <72 hours). Study 3 (Chapter 5) investigated whether IPC could negate eccentric exercise-induced reductions in torque production. Eleven recreationally trained males completed 200 repetitions of maximal eccentric contractions …

Investigation of the impact of compression garments on endurance running performance and exercise induced muscle damage in the lower leg
… markers of exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD) and running performance. Six weeks prior to the race, ultrasound scans of the medial gastrocnemius, mid-calf and figure-of-8 ankle circumference baseline measurements were performed. Shortly prior to the race, these measurements were repeated …

The Influence of Cold-Water Immersion on Limb Blood Flow and Thermoregulatory Responses to Exercise
… associated with exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). However, the underlying physiological mechanisms, which mediate the effects of CWI, are not well understood. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the influence of cold-water immersion (CWI) on limb blood flow and …

Effects of an offloaded running versus active recovery on performance after an ultramarathon-race
… effects such as exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Various active recovery interventions have been explored to speed up recovery from events such as ultra-marathon runs. This includes offloaded recovery strategies such as deep water running (DWR). More recently, the use of an anti-gravity …

Does the use of upper leg compression garments aid performance and reduce post-race Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)?
… of perceived exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and running performance were assessed three days before, immediately post-race and two days post-race. Three days prior to the race, mid-thigh circumference measurements were performed. Immediately post-race, mid-thigh circumference …

The psychophysiological regulation of pacing behaviour and performance during prolonged endurance exercise
… of physical duress: haematological indicators of EIMD predicted (1) amplified physiological strain and non-adaptive endocrinological distress response and (2) increase in perceived physical strain, which mediated and predicted decrease in valence; which in turn predicted an increase in action …

Effects of hypoxia on exercise induced muscle damage
The present study investigated the hypothesis that maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) peak torque, VJ, muscle tenderness, and plasma creatine activity would be significantly less for the condition that subjects were exposed to hypoxic (H) condition for 4 hours after eccentric exercise compared …

An exploration of work environment adaptive mechanisms used by women living with HIV/AIDS in Gaborone-Botswana
… with cycling. Exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD) and fatigue are common in cycling populations, and require a period of recovery so as not to progress into more serious chronic injury and overtraining, and allow for improved performance through adaptation. There are many recovery methods …

Evidence-based design, physiological efficacy testing and consumer analysis of an exemplar model of a fruit derived bioactive functional food for use in physical performance and exercise settings
… polyphenols for exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) recovery and endurance exercise performance, gaps remain in understanding their mechanisms, dosing, and optimal dietary sources. Chapter 3 presents an online survey that assesses the nutrition priorities, practices and preferences of athletes …
