Methods Twenty-four amateur marathon runners were enrolled and divided into three groups: the High-Intensity Running (HIR) group, the Moderate-Intensity Running (MIR) group, and the Rest (REST) group. MR scans were performed on the participants before the race (pre-run) and at 3 hours (post-3h), 24 hours (post-24h), 48 hours (post-48h), and 72 hours (post-72h) after the race. The Fractional Anisotropy (FA), Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC), and T2 relaxation time (T2 value) of the thigh muscle groups were measured. Results At post-3h, the FA values in all three groups decreased significantly (P<0.001) and the T2 values increased significantly (P<0.001), indicating that HM induced muscle microdamage. In the REST group, the FA values began to recover at post-24h and returned to the pre-run level at post-72h. In the MIR group, the FA values started to recover at post-48h but did not fully recover by post-72h. In the HIR group, there was no significant recovery of FA values throughout the observation period (P>0.99). The change trend of T2 values was consistent with that of FA values. Conclusion Quantitative MR multi-parameter imaging can sensitively detect muscle microdamage and the recovery process after HM. The REST group showed the fastest recovery, while moderate- and high-intensity running delayed recovery. Therefore, it is not recommended to use running as an intervention within 3 days after the race.

The REST group showed the fastest recovery, while moderate- and high-intensity running delayed recovery. Therefore, it is not recommended to use running as an intervention within 3 days after the race.","manuscriptTitle":"Quantitative MRI Evaluation of the Effects of Rest and Different Intensities of Running on the Recovery of Thigh Muscle Microdamage After a Half Marathon","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-10-22 14:32:42","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7720608/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"decision","content":"Revision requested","date":"2025-12-16T13:52:54+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-12-12T21:18:38+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-10-21T07:48:16+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-10-20T19:36:07+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"165922658807847045662048167812006121119","date":"2025-10-20T03:04:52+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"104605810951186601417760484816412494648","date":"2025-10-16T19:14:51+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"1989150695211451483053874754336528524","date":"2025-10-15T16:06:54+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"79168281943749544662793497344329017014","date":"2025-10-13T12:36:23+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2025-10-09T06:59:27+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvited","content":"","date":"2025-10-07T04:18:33+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2025-10-06T03:41:48+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2025-10-06T03:40:44+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation","date":"2025-09-26T10:06:23+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"bmc-sports-science-medicine-and-rehabilitation","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"ssmr","sideBox":"Learn more about [BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation](http://bmcsportsscimedrehabil.biomedcentral.com/)","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"https://www.editorialmanager.com/ssmr/default.aspx","title":"BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation","twitterHandle":"BMC_series","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"em","reportingPortfolio":"BMC Series","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"75391fb2-8ada-4d1b-ab0d-df079977b0e9","owner":[],"postedDate":"October 22nd, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"published-in-journal","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2026-03-09T16:10:10+00:00","versionOfRecord":{"articleIdentity":"rs-7720608","link":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13102-026-01640-w","journal":{"identity":"bmc-sports-science-medicine-and-rehabilitation","isVorOnly":false,"title":"BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation"},"publishedOn":"2026-03-07 15:59:21","publishedOnDateReadable":"March 7th, 2026"},"versionCreatedAt":"2025-10-22 14:32:42","video":"","vorDoi":"10.1186/s13102-026-01640-w","vorDoiUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13102-026-01640-w","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-7720608","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-7720608","identity":"rs-7720608","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
