Figure 2. Change in the maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC, A); range of motion (ROM, B); and muscle soreness (SOR, C) before (pre), immediately after (post) as well as 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 h after concentric (CON) and eccentric (ECC) exercise (mean ± SD). Significant differences were found between post- and pre-exercise values (†  p < 0.05, † †  p < 0.01) and between exercise types (** p < 0.01). The table above each figure shows the Cohen’s d (d) at each point over time.
