Eccentric exercise markers warrant caution against misinterpreting skeletal signals as cardiac; leaves open validation in larger or clinical populations.
Do high-force eccentric contractions alter plasma muscle protein concentrations and MRI signal intensities in healthy male volunteers?
High-force eccentric exercise induces slow-twitch skeletal muscle injury detectable by delayed myosin heavy chain fragment release and MRI-visualized edema, without cardiac involvement.
Mair et al. (1992) studied this question.
