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.
Maximal eccentric contractions result in noteworthy declines in force-generating capacity due to the high intramuscular forces generated in lengthened muscle, especially in individuals unaccustomed to such exercise. Despite the typical characteristics of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), the …

The effects of cannabidiol on measures of performance following eccentric exercise
Following intense exercise, there is a period of time when performance is decreased. Cannabidiol (CBD) is advertised as an anti-inflammatory supplement that can expedite recovery when consumed after exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine if CBD supplementation reduces fatigue and …

Effect of vibration treatment on symptoms associated with eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage [thesis]
Unaccustomed eccentric exercise results in delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS), loss of muscle strength, reduced range of motion (ROM) and swelling. Vibration treatment has been used in physiotherapy to reduce pain and oedema, and to facilitate the repair of injured tissue. This study tested …

The effects of movement based interventions on DOMS and muscle damage following eccentric exercise
… by most adults following unaccustomed exercise. It is known that DOMS is peculiar to eccentric exercise that results in muscle damage which is characterized by prolonged loss of muscle function. DOMS and subsequent impaired muscle function, reduces the ability to maximize performance of …

Development of novel strategies to improve skeletal muscle repair and adaptation following eccentric exercise
Eccentric contractions, often required for participation in resistance training, as well as daily activities, can injure skeletal muscle. The repair of muscle damage is essential for effective remodeling, tissue maintenance, and initiation of beneficial adaptations post-exercise. We have previously …

Effects of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on symptoms associated with eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage
Unaccustomed exercise consisting of eccentric contractions induces muscle damage that is characterised by muscle weakness, soreness, swelling and increased muscle stiffness. These symptoms affect daily activities and athletic performance; therefore, interventions to attenuate the symptoms and …

The influence of set-repetition configuration in eccentric exercise on muscle damage and repeated bout effect
It is well known that maximal eccentric exercise induces muscle damage, especially when it is performed for the first time. However, muscle damage is attenuated in subsequent bouts of the same or similar exercise, which is known as the repeated bout effect. One of the factors affecting the …

The effects of eccentric exercise on delayed onset muscle soreness, muscle function and free radical production
… pronounced if the work involves a significant eccentric component. Despite substantial research into DOMS its aetiology is still unresolved. There have been recent suggestions that reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be involved in the aetiology of DOMS, however the evidence for this association …

The Effects of Dha Supplementation on Markers of Inflammation and Muscle Damage Following an Acute Eccentric Exercise Bout
… damage and inflammation following an acute eccentric exercise bout. Methods: A double-blind placebo-controlled, study was performed using 41 healthy, untrained males aged 18-28 y who consumed either 2 g/d DHA or placebo (PL, corn oil) for 32 days. Supplements were consumed for 28 days prior …

The effect of elevated muscle fluid volume on indices of muscle damage following an acute bout of eccentric exercise
… acute muscle damage response following a bout of eccentric exercise. Eight healthy, recreationally active males participated in a cross-over design involving two randomly assigned trials. A hydration trial (HYD) consisting of a two hour infusion of a hypotonic (0.45%) saline at a rate of …

The Influence of Maximal and Submaximal Cyclic Concentric and Eccentric Exercise on Chondrocyte Death and Synovial Fluid Proteins in the Rabbit knee
… but little is known about the effects of exercise loading on synovial fluid (SF) composition and chondrocytes viability. The purpose of this study was to load intact knee joints with two types of controlled maximal muscular contractions (low, and high intensity exercise) and identify …

The effect of eccentric exercise velocity on selected measures of muscle function and soreness of the Human elbow flexors in untrained males and females
Eccentric contractions, where a muscle is repeatedly lengthened while generating torque, result in decreased muscle function and muscle soreness. This study was designed to determine whether there was a difference in muscle response of the elbow flexors from untrained subjects (n = 12) between a …

Effects of exercise on age- and stress- related attenuation of vaccination responses in mice
Several published studies suggest that acute eccentric exercise and exercise training can improve vaccination responses in humans. Normal aging and chronic stress can lead to immunosenescence and immunosuppression, respectively, and there may be a role for exercise in augmenting immune responses …

Behavioural adjuvants to vaccination
This thesis investigated the effects of acute eccentric exercise on the immune response to vaccination in young humans. Study one investigated whether the efficacy of the eccentric exercise intervention was affected by manipulating the timings of exercise prior to influenza vaccination. Three …

Exercise induced damage to skeletal muscle and connective tissue
… tissue breakdown were studied following eccentric and concentric muscle contractions of the knee extensors (KE). Electrically stimulated eccentric contractions of the KE induced delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), a delayed increase in serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, and disruption …

The relative effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitated stretching immediately after eccentric exercise vs proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitated stretching post delayed onset muscle soreness in healthy, sedentary male subjects

Exploring metabolic and molecular mechanisms regulating age-related declines in human skeletal muscle regenerative capacity.
… muscle to regenerate after acute “damaging” eccentric or “non-damaging” concentric exercise in young human skeletal muscle is poorly defined. Age-related impairments in the regenerative mechanisms may contribute to the age-related loss of muscle mass and function, which has negative …

Pain assessment and possible mechanism of delayed onset muscle soreness
Muscle pain is felt during exercise or daily activities for several days after performing unaccustomed exercise, which is referred to as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Many people experience DOMS, but its underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. One of the challenges in the …
