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

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

Foam rolling is thought to improve muscular performance and flexibility as well as to
alleviate muscle fatigue and soreness. For this reason, foam rolling has become a popular …

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 …

Background Taurine has become a popular supplement among athletes attempting to
improve performance. While the effectiveness of taurine as an ergogenic aid remains …

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 …

Macrophages (MPs) exert either beneficial or deleterious effects on tissue repair, depending
on their activation/polarization state. They are crucial for adult skeletal muscle repair, notably …

Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) can be caused by novel or unaccustomed
exercise and results in a temporary decrease in muscle force production, a rise in passive …

It is widely believed that an active cool-down is more effective for promoting post-exercise
recovery than a passive cool-down involving no activity. However, research on this topic has …
