Localization of damage in the human leg muscles induced by downhill running

Abstract We investigated localization of damage within the knee extensors (KEs) and plantar flexors (PFs) induced by downhill running (DR) by using transverse relaxation time (T2)-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Fourteen young adults performed 45-min DR (−15% slope) at their maximal toler...
