With regards to exercise, a study by Maridakis et al [3] found that moderate ingestion of caffeine (5 mg per kg body weight - around the equivalent of 2 cups of coffee) produced a large reduction in pain resulting
from eccentric exercise — induced, delayed - onset muscle injury by ~ 48 %.
Jackman, S. R., Witard, O. C., Jeukendrup, A. E., and Tipton, K. D. Branched - chain amino acid ingestion can ameliorate soreness
from eccentric exercise.

In other words, the absence of negative /
eccentric motion makes strongman
exercises relatively easy to recover
from.
It was
from this book that I first learned about the apparent effectiveness of «
eccentric»
exercise in losing weight and maintaining weight loss.
Many of these reviews have discussed the unique effects of
eccentric training, which seem to arise
from the differences between
eccentric and concentric phases of an
exercise.
In addition, it is interesting to observe that after programs of unilateral
exercise,
eccentric training produces a greater cross-over of strength gains
from the trained limb to the untrained limb than concentric training (Hortobágyi et al. 1997; Seger et al. 1998; Nickols - Richardson et al. 2007; Kidgell et al. 2015).
These alone are often enough, (when combined with pre-running preparation which can include flat back breathing
exercises to relax the lower back tension) to fix running stride enough that the quads are no longer taking a constant beating
from massive
eccentric load on every footstrike.
I would focus on the self - massage, taking a break
from things that make it worse,
eccentric exercise program and getting manual therapy work.
Thus, the neural mechanisms underpinning the adaptations to
eccentric strength gains may in fact transfer well
from strength training
exercises to athletic movements, although exactly why remains to be established.
The neural mechanisms underpinning the adaptations to
eccentric strength gains may therefore transfer reasonably well
from strength training
exercises to sprinting, although exactly why is unclear.
