The effects of exercise-induced muscle damage on cycling endurance performance

The effects of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) on endurance performance have

been studied infrequently, although mechanisms by which EIMD might affect endurance
performance have been identified in some studies (Asp et al., 1998; Journal of Physiology,
509, 305-313; Gleeson et al., 1995; Journal of Sport Sciences, 13, 471-479). The purpose of
this study was to evaluate the effects of EIMD on cardiovascular, metabolic and perceived
exertion responses during fixed-load cycling exercise and on 4 km time-trial. With
institutional ethics approval, 20 recreational athlete volunteers (age 22.9 ± 4.6 years, stature
1.73 ± 0.09 m, body mass 72.3 ± 8.6 kg) performed an incremental test to exhaustion on a
cycle ergometer to determine 2max V&O and the power output corresponding to 2max V&O
(Pmax).
Participants were then randomly allocated to a treatment (n = 10) and a control group (n =
10). After a minimum of 48 h, participants exercised for 5 min at 60% Pmax (Pmax60) followed
immediately by a 4 km time-trial. Cardio-respiratory, metabolic and perceptual responses
were recorded during all tests. Performance measures were accompanied by measurements of
perceived muscle soreness, creatine kinase (CK) and peak isokinetic torque at 60 deg⋅s-1. The
treatment group then performed muscle-damaging exercise comprising of 10 x 10 plyometric
jumps while the control group performed no exercise for a similar time period. At 48 h
following the treatment or control condition, participants then repeated all measurements.
Data will be analysed using a two-way repeated measures ANOVA to determine any
interaction effect of time and group on indirect markers of muscle damage, fixed-load
exercise and time-trial performance. It is hoped that the findings of this study will reaffirm
those of Marcora and Bosio (2007; Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sport,
17, 662–671).
Full abstract to be submitted on completion of data analysis.
ANSWER :

1. From the abstract, please in detail which parts include background, objectives, research
methods, data analysis, results and discussion, conclusions and suggestions.

A. Background
The effects of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) on endurance performance have
been studied infrequently, although mechanisms by which EIMD might affect endurance
performance have been identified in some studies (Asp et al., 1998; Journal of
Physiology,509, 305-313; Gleeson et al., 1995; Journal of Sport Sciences, 13, 471-479).

B. Aim
This study aims to evaluate the effect of EIMD on cardiovascular, metabolic and
perceptive responses of energy during a fixed-load cycling exercise and at 4 km
experimental time.

C. Research methods
The data will be analyzed using two-way repeating ANOVA to determine any effect of
time and group interactions on indirect markers of muscle damage, fixed exercise load
and time-trial performance.

D. Data analysis
With the approval of institutional ethics, 20 recreational athlete volunteers (aged 22.9 ±
4.6 years, stature 1.73 ± 0.09 m, body mass 72.3 ± 8.6 kg) performed incremental tests
against fatigue on the ergometer cycle for determine 2max V & O and output power
corresponding to 2max V & O (Pmax).

E. Results and discussion

Participants were then allocated randomly to treatment (n = 10) and control group (n
=10). After at least 48 hours, participants exercise for 5 minutes at 60% Pmax (Pmax60)
followed immediately with a 4 km test time. Cardio-respiratory, metabolic and perceptual
responses recorded during all tests.Performance measurements are accompanied by
 measurements of perceived muscle pain, creatin kinase (CK) and peak isokinetic torque
at 60 deg⋅s-1. The treatment group then performs a muscle destruction exercise consisting
of 10 x 10 pliometrics
jumps while the control group does not do the exercises for the same time period. At 48
hours After treatment or control conditions, participants then repeat all measurements.

F. Conclusions and suggestions

It is hoped the findings of this study will reaffirm
which is from Marcora and Bosio (2007; Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science
in Sport,17, 662-671).
