Filter by:The aim of the present research is to define the effects of short manual treatment of soft tissues compared to mechanisms explaining in Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) among sport climbers and to address the mechanisms of peripheral and central sensitization involved in DOMS phenomena.
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is associated with the initiation of a new physical activity or a sudden increase in exercise volume and intensity. DOMS also occurs following eccentric exercises such as ballistic stretching, downhill running, weight training and plyometrics. DOMS might prevent performing sports and decreases the performance of professional or recreational athletes. Recently, different soft tissue mobilization applications (massage, foam roller) have been preferred by many athletes to prevent DOMS. However, there is no study comparing the effects of these techniques on DOMS. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of different soft tissue mobilization practices on DOMS and sportive performance in recreational athletes. In order to achieve this goal, a total of 36 recreational athletes will be included and will be allocated to three groups as foam roller group (n=12), massage group (n=12) and control group (n=12). Demographic data, thermal camera measurements, fatigue level assessments, and performance measurements will be performed. All measurements will be carried out four times as before the application, immediately after the application, after 24 hours and after 48 hours.
This is a randomised sham-controlled trial involving healthy volunteers to determine the effect of information on placebo, i.e., sham acupuncture, given in the informed consent, on the trial outcomes and blinding status of participants in a trial.
The study will assess the recovery and performance of young athletes suffering from muscle damage induced by physical exercise. Model by comparing the safety and efficacy of ReWin(d) supplemention during 4 weeks to placebo over 72 hours post exercice.
Pistachios are an understudied and often unappreciated functional food. While nuts in general have received somewhat more attention for their nutritional properties from researchers, practitioners and the media, pistachios often seem to be overlooked. Meanwhile, pistachios appear to possess characteristics that suggest that they are likely to impart benefits that are equal to and perhaps above and beyond those of average nuts. We intend to explore the potential impacts of pistachios on recovery from rigorous exercise in well-trained athletes. We hypothesize that feeding 1.5 oz of pistachios will improve exercise recovery as determined by a reduction in delayed onset muscle soreness and suppression of markers of muscle damage, inflammation and oxidative stress in comparison to water and that the benefits will be greater with consumption of 3.0 oz of pistachios.
The purpose of this prospective cohort survey study is to further explore the incidence of adverse events with dry needling by physical therapists - as well as any differences or similarities between patient-reported vs therapist-reported incidence of AEs.
The study will assess the sensitivity of the Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness Model by comparing the safety and efficacy of oral ibuprofen to placebo over 24 hours.
The objective of the study is to determine whether five days of ginger (Zingiber officinale) supplementation is effective at reducing muscle soreness and improving muscle function following downhill running. Long-distance running is often associated with acute muscle pain, swelling, and reduced muscle functioning, and consequently, many runners utilize non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). NSAID use is associated with gastrointestinal side-effects such as stomach discomfort, nausea, dyspepsia, asymptomatic ulcers, and symptomatic ulcers that, although rare, can be fatal. Ginger is a botanical compound that is Generally Recognized as Safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Evidence from osteoarthritis, dysmenorrhea, and resistance-training models indicate that ginger is effective at reducing general pain and muscle soreness. Therefore, this study will supplement 60 runners with roughly 1.5 g/day of ginger root or a placebo for 2 days prior to, the day of, and 2 days after downhill running. Participants will be evaluated for muscle soreness and function before and after the downhill run.
Sixty volunteers with a mean age of 21,8 ± 2,6 years participated in this study, randomly distributed into one of the following groups: control, Kinesio taping group with tension in the anterior arm region and Kinesio taping group without tension in the same region. All subjects underwent an eccentric exercise protocol and three evaluations: before the protocol, immediately after and 48h after protocol. The following variables were analyzed: sensation of pain as the primary outcome; peak torque normalized by body weight; average peak torque; total work and average power, using an isokinetic dynamometer. In addition, muscle activation amplitude (Root Mean Square) and median frequency were recorded using surface electromyography.
The aim of the study is to investigate a pre and post workout supplementation (15 days) with Recoverben® , a Aloysia citriodora extract on recovery after exhaustive exercise. Effects will be investigated with 400mg Recoverben® and compared to placebo.
