This review focuses on the functional, structural, and cellular consequences of electrically evoked submaximal isometric contractions that can lead to severe and localized skeletal muscle damage, as well as discussing hypotheses related to the underlying physiological and mechanical processes involved.
Understanding the physiological/mechanical mechanisms leading to skeletal muscle damage remains one of the challenges in muscle physiology. This review presents the functional, structural, and cellular consequences of electrically evoked submaximal isometric contractions that can elicit severe and localized skeletal muscle damage. Hypotheses related to underlying physiological and mechanical processes involved in severe and localized muscle damage also are discussed.
