Structural and biochemical evidences for the effect of exercise and intermittent hypobaric hypoxia on the recovery from eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage in trained rats

In rat soleus muscle, a recuperation programme of IHH combined with light exercise seems to induce a fasterrecovery of the mean muscle fibres size and a significant decrease in the percentage of abnormal fibres, without affecting neither the percentage of fibre types nor the fibre shape.
