The Effect of Muscle Strength on Marathon Race-Induced Muscle Soreness
Background: Muscle soreness after a competition or a training session has been a concern of runners due to its harmful effect on performance. It is not known if stronger individuals present a lower level of muscle soreness after a strenuous physical effort. The aim of this study was to investigate w...
