Muscular performance after concentric and eccentric exercise in trained men
Article Abstract:
A study examines previously resistance-trained men to compare the effects of concentric and eccentric training on performance and structural muscle parameter. Findings indicate that for resistance-trained men, increases in concentric strength and velocity performance after eccentric training are largely mediated by changes in fiber and muscle cross-sectional area, whereas eccentric strength increases as a function of both hypertrophy and neural adaptations.

L-arginine ingestion after rest and exercise: effects on glucose disposal
Article Abstract:
Research indicates that consumption of a carbohydrate beverage containing L-arginine does not replenish carbohydrate after exercise in healthy subjects. Results reveal that a 10 gram oral dose of L-arginine does not affect blood glucose disposal in human subjects given oral carbohydrate ingestion.

Acute exercise effects on the immune system
Article Abstract:
Exercise probably does not have any serious immunosuppressive effect. During and immediately after exercise, white blood cell levels increase. This may create an artefactual effect where none exists.
