Summary: Statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) are common in patients using statin drugs, but not all symptoms are caused by the drugs, negative expectations could also play a role. Physical activity is important for managing cardiovascular disease risk, but the evidence of increased creatine-kinase levels in statin-treated athletes has been wrongly generalized. The potential of reducing sedentary behavior and resistance training has been overlooked in current guidelines.

Summary: The study found that skin temperature (Tsk) is not suitable as an indirect marker of mild or moderate muscle damage in healthy active men, as its changes are short-lived and showed no correlation with most indirect markers of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD).

Summary: The study found that exercises performed on the legs did not have a protective effect on muscle damage induced in the elbow flexor, suggesting that muscle damage protection was not transferred from knee extensor or flexor to the elbow flexor.

Summary: This study demonstrated the feasibility and repeatability of the 3D-CrCEST method in calf muscle, along with proposing an improved B1+ correction approach for measuring creatine-recovery kinetics within a large 3D volume of calf muscle.

Summary: This study examined the effects of glutamine intake timing on tissue damage and physiology during exercise. The results showed that supplementation of glutamine after exercise led to a decrease in CK-MM levels, an increase in red blood cell count and platelet count, and less tissue injury in the cardiac muscles and kidneys compared to pre-exercise supplementation. Therefore, glutamine supplementation after exercise was found to be more effective in reducing tissue damage and improving physiological parameters.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of acupuncture on rodeo bulls in training by measuring hematological variables, CK, AST, fibrinogen, and plasma lactate levels. The results showed that bulls treated with acupuncture had smaller variations in hemogram, increased eosinophils levels, and lower plasma lactate levels after exercise compared to the control group. The findings suggest that acupuncture treatment can have positive effects on the physiological response to exercise in rodeo bulls.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of chronic sulforaphane ingestion on heavy resistance exercise-induced muscle damage parameters, finding that sulforaphane intake decreased levels of creatine kinase and interleukin-6, potentially reducing muscle damage and inflammation caused by exercise.

Summary: A systematic review was conducted to investigate the role of vitamin D in muscle recovery post-exercise, with inconclusive results suggesting a potential anti-inflammatory effect. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the circulating levels of chemical elements after exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and the impact of the repeated bout effect (RBE). EIMD led to changes in specific chemical elements, while RBE mitigated these changes in the second training session.

Summary: An acute bout of eccentric exercise affects insulin sensitivity and lipid profile. The greater the magnitude of muscle damage, the greater the changes in insulin sensitivity and lipid markers.

Summary: This study aims to compare the effects of ischemic preconditioning with different occlusion pressures on perceptual outcomes, markers of muscle damage, and performance. Ischemic preconditioning could be a cost-effective alternative technique to reduce muscle damage caused by eccentric exercise and could have broad clinical implications if benefits are proven.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of plyometric training involving jumping up and jumping down stairs, finding that jumping down stairs led to greater improvements in knee extensor muscle torque and vertical jump height.

Summary: Through a randomized trial, it was found that the combination therapy of moderate-intensity statin and ezetimibe is as effective as high-intensity statin monotherapy in reducing cardiovascular events and maintaining stable LDL cholesterol concentrations, with better drug tolerance.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the agreement between serum and saliva measurements of muscle damage markers in response to an accentuated eccentric training protocol. The results showed lower values of muscle damage markers in serum compared to saliva, with a significant increase in CK in men's saliva 96 hours after training. The correlation between serum and saliva measurements was small.
