Athletes may face prolonged force deficits after eccentric bouts; hypothesis-generating for selective type II fiber effects on recovery.
Eccentric exercise reduces the ability to generate high force and power but improves the ability to maintain them, suggesting selective recruitment or damage of type II muscle fibers.
Byrne et al. (2002) studied this question.
