Abstract

Repeated bout effect is a protective mechanism that occurs within the muscle structure to protect the muscle from future damage, after the completion of a single bout of eccentric training. However, this effect has only been studied after two bouts. Therefore, it is not known if performing another bout can improve the protective effect. Another factor that can influence the magnitude or the extension of the muscle damage, as well as the protective effect, is contraction velocity. (AU)
