Post-exercise recovery rate is vital for planning training protocols, maintaining high-level performance, and preventing injuries. Notwithstanding the advancement of noninvasive imaging, there is still a lack in efficient tools for monitoring muscle state and post-exercise due to the relatively small changes in the muscles’ microarchitecture, and the high variability in recovery rate between and within participants. Here we utilized the echo-modulation-curve (EMC) algorithm, a highly accurate and precise tool for mapping T2 relaxation times, to track muscle damage and recovery following exercise. Results show that this approach provides new insights into the microstructural processes that occur following exercise.
