Abstract
Electrical impedance measurements have been assessed as a method of detecting changes in striated muscle following vigorous exercise. Transverse and longitudinal resistivities of the calf and thigh have been measured before and after four subjects ran a half marathon (21 km). No changes were observed in longitudinal resistivity but transverse resistivity rose by an average of 7% following the race. These results are consistent with changes in the muscle fibre membranes or interstitial fluid content.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
