Abstract
We studied five young healthy volunteers who performed a "damage protocol" consisting of 240 (24 sets x 10 repetitions/set) maximal isokinetic eccentric muscle contractions (30 degrees/s) on each leg one week apart. Biopsies were taken from the vastus lateralis on two occasions. Two biopsies were taken from within the same muscle 24h following the damage protocol. On a second occasion a single biopsy was taken from the contralateral leg at 24h following the same damage protocol. Biopsies at all three sites showed Z-band disruption, much greater (i.e., approximately 14-fold) than is typically observed in resting biopsies, with no significant differences (ANOVA) according to site location (within legs or between legs). The within-leg coefficient of variation (CV) was, however, 41 +/- 30%, and the between-leg CVs were 57 +/- 36% and 68 +/- 36%. Macrophage cells were also detected within the muscle, and cell numbers were not statistically different between biopsy sites. However, the within-biopsy CV = 52 +/- 19% and the between-biopsy CVs of 34 +/- 24% and 48 +/- 27%. We conclude that eccentric contraction-induced Z-band streaming and inflammatory cell response, as detected in muscle biopsy samples from humans, is highly variable with a CV of 40-70%.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
