Journal ArticleDOI
Neuromuscular function after exercise-induced muscle damage: theoretical and applied implications.
TL;DR: The aims of this review are to summarise the functional decrements associated with exercise-induced muscle damage, relate these decrements to theoretical views regarding underlying mechanisms (i.e. sarcomere disruption, impaired excitation-contraction coupling, preferential fibre type damage, and impaired muscle metabolism), and discuss the potential impact of muscle damage on athletic performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of exercise-induced muscle damage on maximal intensity intermittent exercise performance.
Craig Twist,Roger G. Eston +1 more
TL;DR: The results provide further evidence that, following a plyometric, muscle-damaging exercise protocol, the ability of the muscle to generate power is reduced for at least 3 days, manifested by a small, but statistically significant reduction in very short-term intermittent sprint running performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movement and physiological match demands of elite rugby league using portable global positioning systems
TL;DR: Results support the requirement for position-specific conditioning and provide preliminary evidence for the use of session ratings of perceived exertion as a measure of match load.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring Fatigue and Recovery in Rugby League Players
Craig Twist,Jamie Highton +1 more
TL;DR: Simple measure of muscle function and simulated performance offer the most practical and appropriate method of determining the extent of fatigue experienced by rugby league players.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concurrent validity and test–retest reliability of a global positioning system (GPS) and timing gates to assess sprint performance variables
TL;DR: Timing gates and GPS were found to reliably assess speed and distance, although the validity of the GPS remains questionable.
