Exercise involving lengthening muscle actions, such as downhill running, results in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which may be attributable to reactive oxygen species (ROS). Although exercise causes oxidative stress, any link between ROS and DOMS remains speculative. There is emerging evidence to suggest that ROS play an important physiological role, assisting in the recovery process an...

BACKGROUND Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is muscle pain and discomfort experienced approximately one to three days after exercise. DOMS is thought to be a result of microscopic muscle fiber tears that occur more commonly after eccentric exercise rather than concentric exercise. This study sought to test the efficacy of a proprietary dietary supplement, BounceBack, to alleviate the severi...

Unaccustomed strenuous exercise that includes lengthening contraction (LC) often causes delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), a kind of muscular mechanical hyperalgesia. The substances that induce this phenomenon are largely unknown. Peculiarly, DOMS is not perceived during and shortly after exercise, but rather is first perceived after approximately 1 d. Using B(2) bradykinin receptor antagoni...

OBJECTIVE To examine the efficacy of microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulation (MENS) treatment on pain and loss of range of motion (ROM) associated with delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). DESIGN AND SETTING We assigned subjects to 1 of 2 groups. Group 1 received treatment with microcurrent stimulation (200 muA, 30 Hz, for 10 minutes, then 100 muA, 0.3 Hz, for 10 minutes) 24, 48, a...

The effect of indomethacin on the development of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and localized sensitive region produced by eccentric exercise was examined in lightly anesthetized rabbits (n=12, 2.0-3.3 kg). Repeated eccentric contractions of the gastrocnemius (GS) muscle were made by manual extensions during the tetanic contractions induced by electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve. T...

The authors examined the effect of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation on squat-exercise-induced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) using 12 young, healthy, untrained female participants. The experiment was conducted with a crossover double-blind design. In the morning on the exercise-session day, the participants ingested either BCAA (isoleucine:leucine:valine = 1:2.3:1.2) or de...

BACKGROUND Inflammation and pain induced by delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) as a result of eccentric exercise (EE) or unaccustomed activity cause some difficulties in exercise for athletes. The purpose of this study was to survey the effect of ginger extract on biochemical and functional symptom of delayed onset muscle soreness. METHODS In a quasi-experimental study, 36 healthy female su...

Egzersiz sonrası gecikmiş kas ağrısı, akut ağrısına nazaran egzersizden sonraki ilk 24 saat içinde hissedilen, 1 ve 3 gün arasında pik yapan etkisi 5-7 sonra tamamen azalan bir ağrı türüdür. Gecikmiş yönelik ilgi araştırmalar giderek artmaktadır. ağrısı üzerinde farklı oluşum mekanizmaları bulunmakla birlikte tam olarak açıklanamamıştır. Beslenme müdahaleleri ağrısını azaltmanın önleyici ve/vey...

Recently, it has been shown that the extramuscular connective tissue (ECT) is likely involved in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Therefore, aim of present study was to investigate effects maximal trunk extension eccentric exercise (EE) on ECT thickness, self-reported DOMS, stiffness, skin temperature, and possible correlations between these outcomes. Healthy adults (n = 16, 29.34 ± 9.87 y...

OBJECTIVE Cutaneous hyperalgesia is prominent in the ultraviolet-B (UVB) model of inflammatory pain. This study investigated possible interactions between cutaneous and deep tissues hyperalgesia. METHODS A total of 16 healthy volunteers participated in the study. Skin inflammation was induced unilaterally by UVB irradiation (three times of the individual minimal erythema dose) in square-shape...
