Recovery and adaptation from repeated intermittent-sprint exercise (original) (raw)

International journal of sports physiology and performance, 2014

Abstract

This investigation aimed to ascertain a detailed physiological profile of recovery from intermittent-sprint exercise of athletes familiar with the exercise and to investigate if athletes receive a protective effect on markers of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), inflammation, and oxidative stress after a repeated exposure to an identical bout of intermittent-sprint exercise. Eight well-trained male team-sport athletes of National League or English University Premier Division standard (mean ± SD age 23 ± 3 y, VO2max 54.8 ± 4.6 mL ·kg-1 · min-1) completed the Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test (LIST) on 2 occasions, separated by 14 d. Maximal isometric voluntary contraction (MIVC), countermovement jump (CMJ), creatine kinase (CK), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), F2-isoprostanes, and muscle soreness (DOMS) were measured before and up to 72 h after the initial and repeated LISTs. MIVC, CMJ, CK, IL-6, and DOMS all showed main effects for time (P < .05) after t...
