About This Trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acute local skeletal muscle inflammatory response to thigh muscle (quadriceps) eccentric muscle actions. Eccentric muscle actions occur when the muscle is lengthening as it contracts. This is a pilot project to assess the degree of inflammatory biomarkers, called myokines, that are released locally in skeletal muscle tissue after an acute bout of resist…
