Recovery kinetics following sprint training: resisted versus unresisted sprints.

Purpose: To determine the recovery kinetics of performance and exercise-induced muscle damage following different sprint-training protocols.

Methods: In a crossover design, ten male and female athletes (20.6 ± 2.

Monocyte to HDL and Neutrophil to HDL Ratios as Potential Ischemic Stroke Prognostic Biomarkers.

Ischemic stroke (IS) exhibits significant heterogeneity in terms of etiology and pathophysiology. Several recent studies highlight the significance of inflammation in the onset and progression of IS. White blood cell subtypes, such as neutrophils and monocytes, participate in the inflammatory response in various ways.

Altered Drop Jump Landing Biomechanics Following Eccentric Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage.

Limited research exists in the literature regarding the biomechanics of the jump-landing sequence in individuals that experience symptoms of muscle damage. The present study investigated the effects of knee localized muscle damage on sagittal plane landing biomechanics during drop vertical jump (DVJ). Thirteen regional level athletes performed five sets of 15 maximal eccentric voluntary contractions of the knee extensors of both legs at 60°/s.
