(A) Eccentric exercise. (B) The weight gain of the MTrPs rats was slow, and there was a difference between the MTrPs group and the control group beginning in the second week. The weight gain of the MTrPs rats was faster during the rest stage than that of the model rats, but it was still significantly different from that of the control group. (C) In the MTrPs group, the paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) decreased gradually at the beginning of the modelling stage, and the PWT was markedly different from that of the control group beginning in the fourth week. Although the PWT of the MTrPs rats during the rest stage tended to be greater than that during the modelling stage, it was still significantly different from that of the control rats, and this difference lasted until the end of the experiment. (D) Results of the EMG examination. Compared to the control group, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001, ns p > 0.05. The data were analysed by independent-sample T tests or Mann–Whitney U tests; repetitions = 3.
