Correlations between the change in corrected quadriceps volume and the change in corrected knee extensor 1-repetition maximum (1-RM) (A), and between the change in daily myofibrillar FSRs and the change in corrected knee-extensor 1-RM (B) in the immobilized leg during the full 7-day immobilization period. Participants either performed no exercise (n = 11; CON) or performed 300 maximal unilateral eccentric muscle damaging quadriceps contractions in both legs [n = 9 (A), n = 8 (B); DAM] immediately before immobilization. Statistical analysis was performed with Pearson’s correlations and r² and P values are displayed on the graph. FSR, fractional synthetic rate.
