Abstract(s)

Regular physical exercise of moderate intensity is normally beneficial to the human organism (Smith et al., 1990; Bury et al., 1998). Nevertheless, under some conditions, the exercise could be a source of stress for some human structures. Eccentric exercise, has been understood as a induction factor of muscle damage on the exercised muscles (Duarte et al., 1999) and, usually, it's accompanied by systemic physiologic alterations similar, in some aspects, to traumas and infections (Northoff et al., 1995). The aims of this study were: to analyse the presence of muscle damage, and to verify the haematological changes brought by a strenuous protocol of uncustomary physical exercise
