Table 1. Mean (±standard deviation) values of maximal voluntary isometric contraction torque of the knee extensors (MVC-KE, Nm) and flexors (MVC-KF, Nm), muscle soreness assessed by a 100-mm visual analog scale for the knee extensors (SOR-KE, mm) and flexors (SOR-KF, mm), plasma creatine kinase (CK, IU/L) activity and myoglobin (Mb, µg/L) concentration at baseline (B), and between the first and second, and second and third 90-minutes Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test (LIST) for the 2d (interval between LISTs was two days), 3d (three days), and 4d (four days) conditions.
