Antioxidants did not prevent muscle damage in response to an ultramarathon run

Article Abstract:

A study is done on ultramarathon runners to determine whether a six-week supplementation with vitamins C and E can alleviate exercise-induced muscle damage. Antioxidants seemed to have no effect on exercise-induced increases in muscle damage or recovery but important differences are observed based on sex and higher dosages, which calls for future studies based on these factors.

Glycogen synthesis in muscle fibers during active recovery from intense exercise

Article Abstract:

The impact of active recovery on the glycogen reserves in different muscle fiber types is investigated. Results indicate that glycogen resynthesis is not affected in Type II musclefibers as opposed to during passive recovery. However, there is a significant glycogen mobilization in Type I muscle fibers.

Shoulder proprioception: latent muscle reaction times

Article Abstract:

Research on identifying electromyographic differences in latent muscle reaction time is presented. Results suggesting rotator cuff muscles in trained throwers may be downregulated through sudden internal rotation preturbation are presented.
