Changes (mean ± SD) of upper arm circumference (a) and cross-sectional area (CSA) of the elbow flexors (b) measured before (pre) and immediately after (post) the eccentric contractions exercise and then 1, 2, 3, and 5 days later in the control and EPA groups. The values of upper arm circumference and CSA at post, 1, 2, 3, and 5 days after eccentric contractions were calculated by relative changes from baseline (100%). n.s. not significant
