This book was released on 1996 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The study examined the effectiveness of a counterirritant ointment versus a cold immersion for the treatment of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) of the plantar flexor muscles. The subjects were 16 females (19.75 ± 1.39 years; 165 ± 6.96 cm; 62.28 ± 8.79 kg). Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: 1) control (n=4), 2) counterirritant ointment (n=6), or 3) cold immersion (n=6). Treatments were administered immediately following an exercise protocol and again at approximately 24 and 48 hours post-exercise. Perceived pain, ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), and maximal isometric force output were measured at baseline and approximately 24, 48, and 72 hours post-exercise. Significant mean differences (p .05) in perceived pain rating, dorsiflexion ROM, and isometric force output were found over the four days of testing. No significant mean differences (p .05) were found when comparing the results of the variables and the effects of the three treatment groups. From the results of this study, the effectiveness of either a counterirritant ointment or a cold immersion for the treatment of DOMS cannot be made.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is muscle pain that arises 24-72 hours after exercise involving unfamiliar strenuous muscle loading. DOMS is commonly induced by eccentric muscle contractions and may signify exercise-induced muscle damage including impaired excitation-contraction coupling and injury to cytoskeletal proteins in the sarcomere. During DOMS, muscle pain is transmitted via A-delta and C-fibre afferents (group III/IV afferents) to the central nervous system (CNS). While it has been shown that muscle force production is significantly diminished in DOMS, there is limited evidence on the influence of DOMS on corticospinal excitability or inhibition. Furthermore, to date no work has investigated how the application of topical analgesic interacts with DOMS to modulate corticospinal excitation. The current thesis employed a model of DOMS involving fatiguing eccentric elbow flexor contraction exercise. We investigated the effect of DOMS on indices of corticospinal excitability (motor evoked potential [MEP] and cervicomedullary evoked potential [CMEP] area and latency) and inhibition (silent period), peripheral motor excitability (Mmax area and latency), and pain pressure threshold (PPT) in the dominant biceps brachii muscle, as well as how application of a menthol-based topical analgesic (Biofreeze®) influenced these outcomes. Two experiments were employed to test the effects of topical analgesic in participants with and without DOMS. In the first experiment (Experiment A: No DOMS), 16 young healthy adults (F = 8, M = 8; age = 23 ± 1.1 yr; body mass = 71.9 ± 9.1 kg; height = 174.2 ± 8.2 cm) were randomly allocated to receive either a menthol-based topical analgesic gel (Topical Analgesic, n = 8) or a placebo gel (Placebo, n = 8) in a double-blind fashion, during a single session; DOMS was not induced. Prior to the application of gel (pre-gel), as well as 5 (post-5 min), 15 (post-15 min), 30 (post-30 min), and 45 (post-45 min) minutes after the application of gel, MEP area, latency, and silent period; CMEP area and latency; and Mmax area and latency were measured. Participants' MEP and CMEP areas were normalized to Mmax area. Neither group showed a statistically significant change in these outcome measures at any post-gel time-point compared to pre-gel (p > .05). In the second experiment (Experiment B: DOMS), 16 young healthy male adults (age = 26 ± 5.1 yr; body mass = 81.9 ± 9.1 kg; height = 179.8 ± 6.1 cm) completed two experimental sessions. During the first session participants completed a fatiguing eccentric elbow flexor contraction protocol to induce DOMS. Participants returned 48 hours later and were randomly allocated to Topical Analgesic (n = 8) or Placebo (n = 8) in a double-blind fashion. During the second session MEP area/Mmax area, MEP latency, silent period, CMEP area/Mmax Area, CMEP latency, Mmax area, and Mmax latency were measured at the same time-points as above. Additionally, PPT was measured during session one (pre-DOMS), as well as at the above time-points. Both groups exhibited a statistically significant decrease in PPT from pre-DOMS to pre-gel (Topical Analgesic, pre-DOMS = 7.03 ± 2.48 kg, pre-gel = 3.12 ± 1.26 kg, p 0.001 Placebo, pre-DOMS = 5.77 ± 2.35 kg, pre-gel = 3.51 ± 1.58 kg, p = .005). Following the application of gel there was a significant increase in PPT at post-15 min (3.70 ± 1.69 kg, t(7) = -2.619, p = .034), post-30 min (3.92 ± 1.67 kg, t(7) = -3.987, p = .005), and post-45 min (4.33 ± 1.65 kg, t(7) = -4,566, p = .003) compared to pre-gel (3.12 ± 1.26 kg) in the Topical Analgesic group only. Under the Placebo group, there was no statistically significant change in PPT values (p .05). Regarding neurophysiological changes there was a statistically significant increase in silent period compared to pre-gel (85.67 ± 19.65 ms) at both post-30 min (96.08 ± 26.62 ms, p = .045) and post-45 min (94.23 ± 22.32 ms, p = .029), in the Topical analgesic Group. The Placebo group did not exhibit a statistically significant change in silent period at any time-point (p > .05). No other measures of corticospinal (MEP area/Mmax area, MEP latency, CMEP area/Mmax area, CMEP latency) or peripheral motor excitability (Mmax area, Mmax latency) were significantly different after the application of topical analgesic or placebo gel (p > .05). When comparing pre-gel neurophysiological outcomes in participants from Experiment A: No DOMS (n = 16) and Experiment B: DOMS (n = 16), there were statistically significant differences in MEP area/Mmax area (Experiment A = 0.222 ± 0.169; Experiment B = 0.097 ± 0.057, p = .011), CMEP area/Mmax area (Experiment A = 0.186 ± 0.148; Experiment B = 0.077 ± 0.045; p = .012), and silent period (Experiment A = 77.41 ± 31.05 ms; Experiment B = 100.85 ± 32.29 ms; p = .045). No other neurophysiological measures were significantly different across experiments (p > .05). The present findings suggest that DOMS imposes changes in the neuromuscular system that result in increased pain, reduced corticospinal excitability, and elevated corticospinal inhibition. Following the administration of menthol-based topical analgesic, but not a placebo gel, there is a reduction in pain which is accompanied by further increases in corticospinal inhibition. These results provide novel information on the neurophysiological effects of DOMS, as well as the influence on topical analgesic on DOMS-induced neurophysiological changes.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the effects of a menthol-based topical analgesic on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) induced changes to running biomechanics and pain perception in well-trained runners. A menthol-based topical analgesic (n=10) was compared against a placebo group (n=10) on measures of kinematics, spatio-temporal parameters, and the perception of pain. Three-Dimensional (3D) kinematics of the ankle, knee and hip as well as subjective pain (Comparative Pain Scale and Pressure Threshold) were measured during level treadmill running at baseline, 48 hours after a 30-minute DOMS-inducing downhill run, and after the application of a menthol analgesic. DOMS was induced from the downhill run as identified by our pain measures, however it had little effect on kinematic variables. Pressure threshold was significantly lower at both measurement sites for both groups and Comparative Pain Scale scores were significantly higher after inducing DOMS. There were significant interactions for condition x group, regardless of running speed; average knee and hip range of motion (ROM) during stance and swing were significantly different than baseline after inducing DOMS. The application of a menthol-based topical analgesic had no significant effect on kinematics or pain perception. Our well-trained participants may have been more well-adapted to manage DOMS-induced soreness while limiting changes to running biomechanics. Variability in gait mechanics may have also played a role in the unexpected changes between participants after inducing DOMS. Regardless of the effectiveness of the DOMS-inducing protocol, the menthol analgesic appeared to have no effect on kinematics or pain variables in well-trained runners. Key Words: Biomechanics, Gait, Menthol, Analgesic, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.

Book excerpt: and investigate race and sex as moderating factors of this association, and 2) to identify psychosocial risk factors associated with change alcohol and cannabis demand after DOMS induction. Results suggested that two demand indices (i.e. alcohol intensity and cannabis EV), were responsive to the DOMS induction and sex-specific effects of the DOMS induction were noted for alcohol intensity. Regarding psychosocial risk factors, pain-related negative affect did not mediate associations between pain and changes in demand. However, greater history of self-medication behavior and expectancies of alcohol analgesia predicted DOMS-related increases in alcohol demand. These results have implications for the identification of individuals with pain who are at risk for hazardous alcohol and cannabis use. They may also inform development of novel interventions for reducing risk of substance use disorders, particularly among those with pain.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is a common phenomenon experienced by individuals who perform unaccustomed exercise that typically involves an eccentric component. Soreness peaks between 24 and 48 hours post-exercise with residual soreness usually remaining beyond that time frame. Negative implications of DOMS include minimal to severe soreness, the inability to continue safe and effective training or performance, biomechanical alterations predisposing individuals to injury, and decreases in strength and power. There have been many clinical and therapeutic interventions utilized in an attempt to minimize DOMS and the negative impact on athletic performance. Exercise, therapeutic massage, cryotherapy, ultrasound, and anti-inflammatory drugs have all been tested as methods of determining an effective intervention strategy. The present research attempted to minimize the negative impacts that DOMS has on neuromuscular function by utilizing a specific exercise program as a treatment intervention. Twenty females between the ages of 19 and 35 participated in the present research. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

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
