Book The Effects of Localized Vibration on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness Following Intense Eccentric Cycling

Download or read book The Effects of Localized Vibration on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness Following Intense Eccentric Cycling written by Dr. Fredrick Peters and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2016 in the subject Physical Therapy / Occupational Therapy, course: Kinesiology, language: English, abstract: Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is musculoskeletal pain resulting from physical activity. DOMS affects athletic performance, therefore therapy is of interest to athletes. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of localized vibration (biomechanical muscle stimulation, BMS) on biomarkers of DOMS following eccentric cycling, and to test changes in muscle length and soreness. We investigated if BMS reduces DOMS and enhances muscle function following eccentric exercise and if creatine kinase (CK), lactate, and pain were affected. Twenty-eight recreationally active men (18 - 40 years old) were randomized into control or BMS groups. Subjects performed 5 minutes of eccentric cycling, then either received BMS, or rested. Outcome variables, plasma creatine kinase, blood lactate, pain scores (Likert), muscle length, muscle pain (self-reported), and pressure algometry were collected at four intervals (baseline, pre-cycling, 24 hours post-cycling, and 48 hours post). A main effect of time was found for quadriceps pain threshold (F(3, 78) = 3.02, p = 0.04). A main effect of time was found regarding an increase in lactate (p = .016; T0 to T1) and decrease in lactate (p = .025; T1 to T3). A main effect of time for Likert pain score was found pre-cycling versus post-cycling (p = .0001). There were no significant interactions between group (BMS or control) and time. This study does not support our hypotheses regarding localized vibration and recovery from DOMS. However, we found significance regarding a main effect of time for pain threshold in the quadriceps, Likert pain score, and lactate level.

Book DOMS Recovery and Compression Garments

Download or read book DOMS Recovery and Compression Garments written by Celeste Harris and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a placebo compression garment on the recovery of delayed-onset muscle soreness compared to a compression garment. Five female, non-athlete collegiate students completed two trials, each containing six sessions. On day one, subjects’ pre-exercise measurements were taken, the DOMS-inducing exercise was completed, and post-exercise measurements were taken directly following exercise and for the following five days. The independent variables were the compression garment and the placebo compression garment. The dependent variables were the upper and lower arm circumference, measuring bicep swelling, flexion and extension range of motion, ratings of perceive soreness during elbow flexion, elbow extension, and bicep palpation, and average torque productions at 60°/ sec and 180°/sec to determine relative function, and garment effectiveness, determined by a two-question questionnaire. It was hypothesized that the compression garment would return the physiological variables of range of motion, bicep swelling, and muscle function to baseline quicker than the placebo garment. It was also hypothesized that the compression garment and placebo garment would reduce the psychological variables, which were measured by perceived muscle soreness and garment effectiveness, at the same rate. The compression garment did not return flexion or extension range of motion to baseline significantly quicker than the placebo garment. It also did not reduce swelling to baseline significantly faster than the placebo garment for either upper or lower arm circumference. The compression garment also did not return muscle function to baseline significantly quicker than the placebo garment. The compression and placebo garments did reduce soreness at the same rate. And the placebo garment was perceived to be more effect than the compression garment regarding the variables that contained a potential psychological component (garment effectiveness, soreness, range of motion, and torque production, while the compression garment was perceived to be more effective regarding the most physiological variable (arm circumference). This data suggests that a strong placebo effect was felt by the participating subjects.

Book The Effect of Whole Body Vibration on Exercise induced Muscle Damage and Delayed onset Muscle Soreness

Download or read book The Effect of Whole Body Vibration on Exercise induced Muscle Damage and Delayed onset Muscle Soreness written by Ryan Darin Magoffin and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current scientific evidence suggests that when whole body vibration (WBV) is used as a warm-up prior to performing eccentric exercise, delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is mitigated and strength loss recovers faster. These benefits were observed primarily in nonresistance-trained individuals. The aim of this study was to determine if WBV could mitigate soreness and expedite strength recovery for resistance-trained individuals when used as a warm-up prior to eccentric exercise. Thirty resistance-trained males completed 300 maximal eccentric contractions of the quadriceps after warming up with (WBV) or without (CON) WBV. Both CON and WBV experienced significant isometric (27.8% and 30.5%, respectively) and dynamic (52.2% and 47.1%, respectively) strength loss immediately postexercise. Isometric strength was significantly depressed after 24 hours in the CON group (9.36% p

Book Effects of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness  DOMS  in Long Distance Runners

Download or read book Effects of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness DOMS in Long Distance Runners written by Shane N. Draper and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Purpose: The purpose was to measure the effects of intermittent pneumatic compression (NormaTec, NT) on muscle inflammation after long distance running. Methods: Ten long distance runners, five males and five females, ages 18-55 years performed two, 20 mile runs at 70% VO2 max. The runs were followed by either no treatment (control) or NT treatment for five consecutive days. For the NT run, subjects were treated for one hour immediately following the run and daily for five days after. For the control run, subjects did not receive any treatment. Serum C - reactive protein (CRP), a marker of muscle inflammation, was measured pre and post run and daily thereafter for five days for both trials. Repeated measures ANOVA and two-way ANOVA were used to assess treatment differences. Results: The results indicated no significant difference (P > 0.05) between the control and treatment runs in CRP levels. There was also no gender differences or order effect of runs. Subjective pain ratings indicated no significant difference in pain between the control and treatment runs except when comparing the first run compared to the second run (regardless of whether the first run was a treatment or control run); there was a significant difference in which the subjects experienced less pain on the second run. There was no significant difference in mean weight loss, fluid intake, sweat rate, heart rate, percentage of maximum heart rate, or percentage of maximum VO2 max. There was, however, a significant difference (P = 0.038) in running time when comparing the control run (196.2 minutes) against the treatment run (204.8 minutes). Conclusions: Although the test subjects recovered one day earlier when using the NT device (Day 4) compared to the control (Day 5), this difference was not significant.

Book The Effect of the FlowDynTM Device on Recovery Following Induced Muscle Soreness

Download or read book The Effect of the FlowDynTM Device on Recovery Following Induced Muscle Soreness written by Heather Harris and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of dynamic pneumatic compression devices for recovery is growing in the sports medicine field. There are a wide variety of such compression devices on the market that claim to lower recovery time or improve performance for athletes, but not much supporting evidence. With that in mind, this study was designed to evaluate the performance of the FlowDynTM system in recovery from induced muscle soreness. This device was compared to a placebo compression device, and the effects were evaluated using perceived pain, flexibility, muscle circumference, and three strength measurements. The aim of this study was to determine if there is any basis for the claims that the FlowDynTM device shortens recovery time, and to lay the groundwork for future more rigorous studies into the effects of this device and others like it. Here, soreness was induced via eccentric muscle contraction and either experimental or placebo dynamic pneumatic compression was applied, and the effects on the previously mentioned metrics were evaluated. This pilot study shows promising results indicating validity to some claims made by the manufacturer of this device and the use of novel dynamic pneumatic compression devices for minimizing recovery time.
