Background: Sport is an activity that has a positive effect on individual. DOMS occurs when person starts exercising after long period of inactivity and results from increase in the load intensity exercise. characterized by onset muscle soreness Any type places unusual muscles can cause DOMS.Objective: to determine existence active recovery passive reducing (delayed soreness).Method: The study ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of warm whirlpool, cold whirlpool, and contrast therapy in the treatment of delayed-onset muscle soreness. DESIGN AND SETTING Subjects performed eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors and received 4 treatments: immediately postexercise and 24, 48, and 72 hours postexercise. Treatments consisted of 24-minute treatments with warm whirlpool, cold whirlpoo...

Introduction Several studies have investigated muscle damage induced by strenuous exercise with eccentric muscle contraction (1, 2). Although eccentric muscle contraction frequently causes delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) (1), time-course changes in damaged muscles with DOMS have not been sufficiently evaluated. This study aimed at assessing the physiological and structural changes by using...
