摘要:Resistance exercise often leads to exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Muscle oedema, muscle soreness, increase in serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, restricted range of motion and strength loss are markers of EIMD. It is well documented that symptoms of EIMD are reduced following a repeated bout of similar exercise, this occurrence has been referred to as the repeated bout effect (RBE) (McHugh, 2003).
