Effects of dietary supplementation with vitamins C and E on muscle function during and after eccentric contractions in humans
Reactive oxygen species may contribute to exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage, and antioxidants may protect against such damage. This study examined the effectiveness of prophylactic supplementation with v...

The effect of severe eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage on plasma elastase, glutamine and zinc concentrations
The aim of this study was to determine if severe exercise-induced muscle damage alters the plasma concentrations of glutamine and zinc. Changes in plasma concentrations of glutamine, zinc and polymorphonuclea...

Indices of skeletal muscle damage and connective tissue breakdown following eccentric muscle contractions
Indirect indices of exercise-induced human skeletal muscle damage and connective tissue breakdown were studied following a single bout of voluntary eccentric muscle contractions. Subjects (six female, two mal...

Changes in human skeletal muscle contractile function following stimulated eccentric exercise
Indices of human skeletal muscle contractile function were examined in nine subjects for up to 9 days following a single bout of stimulated eccentric exercise. Eccentric muscle actions of the knee extensor mus...

Indices of free-radical-mediated damage following maximum voluntary eccentric and concentric muscular work
This study monitored plasma and skeletal muscle markers of free-radical-mediated damage following maximum eccentric and concentric exercise, to examine the potential role of free radicals in exercise-induced m...
