Quantitative measurement of resting skeletal muscle [Ca2+] i following acute and long-term downhill running exercise in mice

Alteration of resting free intracellular [Ca2+]([Ca2+] i) homeostasis has been implicated in
the aetiology of skeletal muscle fibre injury following damaging pliometric (lengthening
or'eccentric') contractions. Quantitative measurements of resting [Ca2+] i in skeletal muscles
following acute or long-term exercise involving such injurious contractions have not been
performed. We tested the hypothesis that, following an acute bout of pliometric exercise, the
maximum force production (Po) of isolated skeletal muscles would be significantly reduced …
