1. From the abstract, please in detail which parts include background, objectives, research
methods, data analysis, results and discussion, conclusions and suggestions.
A. Background
The effects of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) on endurance performance have
been studied infrequently, although mechanisms by which EIMD might affect endurance
performance have been identified in some studies (Asp et al., 1998; Journal of
Physiology,509, 305-313; Gleeson et al., 1995; Journal of Sport Sciences, 13, 471-479).
B. Aim
This study aims to evaluate the effect of EIMD on cardiovascular, metabolic and
perceptive responses of energy during a fixed-load cycling exercise and at 4 km
experimental time.
C. Research methods
The data will be analyzed using two-way repeating ANOVA to determine any effect of
time and group interactions on indirect markers of muscle damage, fixed exercise load
and time-trial performance.
D. Data analysis
With the approval of institutional ethics, 20 recreational athlete volunteers (aged 22.9 ±
4.6 years, stature 1.73 ± 0.09 m, body mass 72.3 ± 8.6 kg) performed incremental tests
against fatigue on the ergometer cycle for determine 2max V & O and output power
corresponding to 2max V & O (Pmax).
