The document discusses a study that examines the effects of exercise-induced muscle damage on endurance performance. Twenty recreational athletes performed tests to determine VO2 max and other measures. They were then randomly assigned to a treatment group that performed muscle-damaging exercise or a control group. At 48 hours post-treatment or control, all participants repeated the tests and measurements were taken. Data analysis will be done to determine any interaction effects of time and group on markers of muscle damage and performance.

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 V&O2 max and the power output corresponding to V&O2 max (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).
