We measured titin and nebulin content in muscle biopsies from the vastus lateralis before and 24 h after one bout of high-intensity eccentric knee extensor resistance exercise in seven men (26 +/- 3 years). Titin and nebulin content were significantly (P < 0.05) reduced after exercise by 30 and 15%, respectively. These results suggest that the structural components of the myofibrillar apparatus are degraded following high-intensity eccentric resistance exercise in humans. Loss of these proteins may have important implications for the mechanisms regulating the adaptive response of skeletal muscle to resistance exercise.
