ABSTRACT
Recovery of maximal force and power following a 10-km race has not been widely studied in the scientific literature. Ten healthy men who were experienced distance runners participated in this investigation. Data were collected prerace, immediate postrace, and 48 hours postrace to examine the effect of a 10-km race on muscle force production in the lower body. Maximal peak torque was measured via an isokinetic dynamometer at 30 degrees, 180 degrees, and 300 degrees.s-1. A significant (p Subject(s)
