Myofibrillar Damage Following Intense Eccentric Exercise in Man
Abstract
Muscle soreness that has a delayed onset is a common feature among both athletes and untrained individuals who engage in unusual exercises. This study was designed to provide additional morphological data to assess the relevance and significance of our previous findings that the sore muscles contain fibers with disorganized myofibrillar material. Muscle biopsies were obtained from 12 males (mean age 25 +/- 7 years), who suffered from severe soreness in their thigh muscles 18--72 h following eccentric bicycle exercise. Their strength performance were tested in parallel. Knee extensor strength was decreased at all angular velocities soon after exercise but gradually increased over the subsequent days although slower at the fastest contractions. Disturbances of the cross-striated band pattern were constantly observed. They originated from the myofibrillar Z-band, which showed marked streaming, broadening and, at places, total disruption. The disturbances were found in every second to every third fiber up to 3 days after exercise and in one tenth of the fibers 6 days following the exercise. Type 2 fibers were predominantly affected. Thus, the eccentric exercise gives rise to muscles soreness and influences, on mechanical basis and selectively with regard to fiber type, the fine structure of the contractile apparatus.

Eccentric stimulation reveals an involvement of FGF6 in muscle resistance to mechanical stress

“Indeed, it appears that eccentric exercise is able to involve some muscle lesions followed by the activation of satellite cells and the ensuing regenerative process (Friden et al. 1983; Carter et al. 1994; Friden and Lieber 2001; Smith et al. 2001; Armand et al. 2003).”

“As well as structural damage to the sarcomere, eccentric exercise can cause raised intracellular calcium ion (Ca) levels (Belcastro, Albisser, Littlejohn, 1996), decreased muscle force production (Clarkson, Sayers, 1999; Friden et al., 1983), an increase in serum”

“Eccentric contractions, however, have reported negative consequences including onset of muscle soreness (Komi and Buskirk, 1972; Talag, 1973), greater strength decrements compared to isometric and concentric exertions, and possibly greater risk for injuries (Fridén et al., 1983; Komi and Rusko, 1974; Lieber et al., 19…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
