“…Thus, sex differences in muscle fatigue with lengthening contractions may be masked by the pain accompanying muscle damage, which can influence men and women differently. Insight into any potential sex differences in fatigability could be gained by comparing the fatigability of lengthening contractions of men and women after several sessions of training or pre-conditioning (Chen et al, 2012). Because fatiguing lengthening contractions are important in optimising muscle hypertrophy during strength training and rehabilitation programs (Roig et al, 2009), addressing sex differences in fatigability may reveal information that is relevant to individualising such programs for men and women.…”

Sex differences in human fatigability: mechanisms and insight to physiological responses

Sex-related differences in physiology and anatomy are responsible for profound differences in neuromuscular performance and fatigability between men and women. Women are usually less fatigable than men for similar intensity isometric fatiguing contractions. This sex difference in fatigability, however, is task specific because different neuromuscular sites will be stressed when the requirements of the task are altered, and the stress on these sites can differ for men and women. Task variables that can alter the sex difference in fatigue include the type, intensity and speed of contraction, the muscle group assessed, and the environmental conditions. Physiological mechanisms that are responsible for sex-based differences in fatigability may include activation of the motor neuron pool from cortical and subcortical regions, synaptic inputs to the motor neuron pool via activation of metabolically-sensitive small afferent fibres in the muscle, muscle perfusion, and skeletal muscle metabolism and fibre type properties. Non-physiological factors such as the sex bias of studying more males than females in human and animal experiments can also mask a true understanding of the magnitude and mechanisms of sex-based differences in physiology and fatigability. Despite recent developments, there is a tremendous lack of understanding of sex differences in neuromuscular function and fatigability, the prevailing mechanisms and the functional consequences. This review emphasises the need to understand sex-based differences in fatigability in order to shed light on the benefits and limitations that fatigability can exert for men and women during daily tasks, exercise performance, training and rehabilitation in both health and disease.

“…Depending on the magnitude of muscle damage, muscle force at isometric, and dynamic testing conditions may be impaired for 1–7 days after the exercise [40–43]. Other important symptoms of muscle damage are disruption of the sarcolemma and extracellular matrix [44, 45], increased blood levels of creatine kinase (CK) and myoglobin (MB), stiffness, and swelling [46–48]. …”

Running economy (RE), defined as the energy demand for a given velocity of submaximal running, has been identified as a critical factor of overall distance running performance. Plyometric and resistance trainings, performed during a relatively short period of time (~15–30 days), have been successfully used to improve RE in trained athletes. However, these exercise types, particularly when they are unaccustomed activities for the individuals, may cause delayed onset muscle soreness, swelling, and reduced muscle strength. Some studies have demonstrated that exercise-induced muscle damage has a negative impact on endurance running performance. Specifically, the muscular damage induced by an acute bout of downhill running has been shown to reduce RE during subsequent moderate and high-intensity exercise (>65% VO2max). However, strength exercise (i.e., jumps, isoinertial and isokinetic eccentric exercises) seems to impair RE only for subsequent high-intensity exercise (~90% VO2max). Finally, a single session of resistance exercise or downhill running (i.e., repeated bout effect) attenuates changes in indirect markers of muscle damage and blunts changes in RE.

“…In addition to the lack of data on the damage response in female athletes, much of the existing 73 literature investigating EIMD employs damage protocols that lack specificity to a sporting 74 context and are often eccentric biased (5,7,(17)(18)(19)(20)(21), and in isolated muscle groups (4,7, 18). Intermittent sports, such as soccer, rugby and basketball that require periods of high 76 intensity, repeated sprint activity and changes of velocity (22) and direction (23), elicit 77 significant muscle damage and prolonged decrements in function.…”

Exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD) is a well-investigated area, however there is a 27 paucity of data surrounding the damage response in females. The aim of this study was to 28 examine the damage responses from a sport-specific bout of repeated sprints in female 29 athletes. Eleven well-trained females (mean ± SD; age 22 ± 3 y, height 166.6 ± 5.7 cm, mass 30 62.7 ± 4.5 kg) in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle completed a repeated sprint protocol

Attenuation of Eccentric Exercise–Induced Muscle Damage by Preconditioning Exercises

Abstract: These results suggest that there is threshold intensity for ECCs to confer protective effect, and ISOs at a long muscle length provide preconditioning effect.
