Abstract excerpt
We investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within genes encoding the alpha-1 chain of type I ( COL1A1, rs2249492 ; rs1800012 ), type II ( COL2A1, rs2070739 ), and type V (COL5A1, rs12722 ) collagen were associated with the variable response to exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Knee extensor muscle strength and soreness were assessed pre-, post-, and 48 h post-EIMD (120 maximal eccentric...
