The different recovery modes had no significant effect on the recovery time course of contractile properties. The prolonged torque loss is mainly due to peripheral alterations. Our results suggest that an alteration of the excitation-contraction coupling might be involved during the first 2 d after the eccentric exercise. From 2 to 4 d, damage to force-generating structures could account for the remaining torque deficit.
