The interrelationship of the time courses of soreness and oedema, and of force and phosphorus metabolites after eccentric exercise was studied. Eight male subjects performed 120 maximal eccentric contractions with their left forearm flexors. Soreness, maximal force, flexion and extension elbow angle...
