A single 8-kilometer high-intensity run can depress leg muscle function and elevate feelings of fatigue for at least six hours, but the *type* of high-intensity protocol determines which systems are most affected. This is the core finding from a study by Yago Medeiros Dutra and colleagues at São Paulo State University, published in the *European…

A high-intensity endurance run can impair neuromuscular function and increase feelings of fatigue for more than six hours after you finish, but the specific nature of that post-exercise fatigue depends heavily on the protocol you choose. Key Takeaways Neuromuscular fatigue and elevated feelings of tiredness persist for at least 6 hours after high-intensity endurance running….

Key Takeaways High-intensity running depresses leg muscle strength and neural drive for at least 6 hours after exercise, regardless of workout structure. Longer, slightly less intense intervals (at vRCP) caused a larger 20% drop in muscle neural drive compared to shorter, harder intervals.
