Alternative strategies for implementing the protective effect against muscle damage

Abstract

It has already been well established that after exercises to which it is not accustomed, especially if they involve eccentric contractions, a process known as muscular damage (DM) takes place. This process consists of the disorganisation and/or rupture of muscle cells due to high levels of mechanical and/or metabolic stress. It is known that, following the occurrence of DM, the trimmed muscle recovers and becomes more resistant to that phenolic disease, with attenuated responses to these symptoms, known as the protective effect (EP). Meanwhile, the manifestation of this effect by means of eccentric contractions requires the occurrence of high magnitude DM, which may not be interesting for athletes and enthusiasts of physical activity. Recently, different strategies to protect against DM that do not involve maximum off-centre contractions have been presented, such as sub-maximum eccentric contractions, isometric contractions, flexibility training and increased muscle temperature prior to exercise. The aim of this study was to revisit these strategies to protect against DM in order to better understand the burden. A mapping exercise was carried out in important databases and the items found and considered relevant to the topic were revised and didatically explained throughout the work.
