Figure 4. Total glycerol release in eccentric and control thigh during step 1 and step 2 of the two-legged concentric exercise.

Each bar shows mean ±s.e.m. of 7 observations, for values from the eccentric thigh that had performed eccentric exercise 2 days prior to the concentric exercise (▪) and values from the contralateral control thigh (□). Glycerol release was measured at rest, and at 10, 20 and 25 min during step 1 (lighter exercise) and step 2 (heavier exercise) of the two-legged concentric exercise, and on each step the total release was calculated from these values. * Significantly (P < 0.05) different from the control thigh at the same exercise step.
