Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science in Exercise and Health Studies, Miami University, Exercise and Health Studies.
The purpose of this study was to provide the mathematical and computational verification that localized infrared thermology could be used to access muscle recovery status during post-resistance training. This study used data from the upper thigh, where the quadriceps muscles started at an elevated temperature, having been worked out and homeostatic heat generation rates. The results of these tests were then used as the theoretical fastest rate for thermal recovery in normal conditions. These results were then compared to results obtained from the use of localized thermology post-resistance training. The recovery times found between the mathematical and computational model and that seen in the use of localized thermology were significantly different, indicating that the prolonged elevated heat generation of the exercised muscle contributes to the increased metabolism needed in the recovery process.
