We investigated if the same isometric preconditioning protocol (IPP) attenuates the magnitude of muscle damage induced bydifferent maximal eccentric exercise protocols in the elbow flexors. Sixty-four untrained men were assigned to either two experimental or two control groups. Participants in the experimental groups performed an IPP prior to either slow (60°·s-1 - ISO+ECC-S) or fast (180…
The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of the rate of utilization of the anaerobic work capacity (AWC) on the tolerance to exercise and muscle fatigue (peak torque) at severe intensity domain. Fifteen active subjects will perform the following tests in twelve different opportunities: 1) incremental test to determine the lactate threshold, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and…

Due to unique mechanisms of force production and motor unit recruitment during eccentric contractions, exercises composed mainly by this type of contraction allow the accumulation of large amounts of mechanical work with low metabolic cost, cardiorespiratory burden, and perceived exertion. These characteristics make eccentric exercise modalities (especially aerobic eccentric exercise - AE…
Introduction: Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) occurs following unaccustomed eccentric-biased exercise. Manipulation of certain eccentric exercise variables such as load, angular velocity and range of motion modulates the magnitude of EIMD response. Pre-conditioning with maximal isometric contractions 2-4 days prior to damaging bouts has been shown to attenuate some EIMD symptoms. Ho…
Some longitudinal research models indicate that strength (maximal and explosive) might influence running economy (RE). However, other models [e.g., muscle damage (MD) induced by downhill running (DR)] show that the magnitude and the recovery kinetics of the RE and maximal strength measured by open kinetic chain (OKC) exercises [isometric peak torque (IPT)] might differ. Factors like the t…
The objective of this study will analyze the protective effect of a single session of downhill running on muscle damage markers induced induced during and after long duration running (without gradient) and its respective effects on running economy (RE) and muscle torque. Thirty males aged 18 to 30 years will participate of the study. Subjects will perform progressive test to exhaustion to…

Post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) is a phenomenon typically observed following conditioning activities (CA) performed with traditional resistance exercises, in which loads are based on an individual's one-repetition maximum (1RM). However, the use of 1RM-based CAs presents limitations that may reduce the magnitude or even the manifestation of PAPE, such as neuromuscular fatig…
Muscle damage induced by downhill running decreases force production ability and running economy (RE). A recent study showed that 10 maximal isometric contractions at a long muscle length (ISOs) performed within a week prior to a damaging eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors, significantly attenuated symptoms of muscle damage (e.g. muscle soreness, force loss) in untrained individuals.…
