Abstract
This thesis examines the regulation of muscle function following exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), in an attempt to determine whether regulation occurs primarily in the muscle (neuromuscular) or further upstream. Upstream regulation has been hypothesized to occur in the lower brain structures, but one may assume that the efferent output to the muscle should be guided by the motor and pre-motor cortex alongside other associated cortical areas.
