background: the aim of this study was to investigate muscle damage indicators and electromyography activities of quadriceps muscles at 25° of hip flexion in untrained healthy females after an eccentric exercise induced muscle fiber damage.   methods : a total of 14 healthy females participated in this pre-experimental study. the subjects performed maximal eccentric quadriceps contractions at 25...

introduction: strength training has an important role in the exercise programs of normal individuals and athletes and it also has numerous benefits on the health of human body and spirit. one of the types of these exercise is eccentric resistance exercise which is associated with negative physiological changes. thus: this study examined the effects of a single bout of eccentric resistance exerc...

conclusions the findings suggest that estrogen supplementation increases damage in testicular tissue due to eccentric exercise. results conventional light microscopic results revealed that testes tissues of the eccentric exercise administered group and the estrogen supplemented group exhibited slight impairment. in groups that were both eccentrically exercised and estrogen supplemented, more de...

Background and Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate effectsof a single sessionof eccentric or concentric resistance exercise on relative expression of BDNF, PAX7 and IGF-1 in healthy participants. Materials and Methods: In a field trial, ten healthy young men were randomly assigned into two equal groupsof concentric and eccentric contractions. Isokinetic contraction prot...

Purpose: An appropriate activity of the knee agonist -antagonist muscles is important to resist against abnormal abduction-adduction moments loads around knee joint and reduce the risk of knee injuries. Exercise training has been commonly used as an intervention to improve neuromuscular activity within the synergic and/or agonist-antagonist muscles. However, maximizing the effectiveness of exer...

eccentric connectivity index has been found to have a low degeneracy and hence a significantpotential of predicting biological activity of certain classes of chemical compounds. wepresent here explicit formulas for eccentric connectivity index of various families of graphs.we also show that the eccentric connectivity index grows at most polynomially with thenumber of vertices and determine the ...
