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.
The acute study will evaluate pre- and post-exercise ingestion of a multi-ingredient supplement in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design. Participants will complete one enrollment visit, in which they will sign a consent form and complete a health history questionnaire. Participants will complete two interventions, with three visits each (6 visits total), in which a treatment beverage (pre/post supplement, or non-caloric placebo) will be consumed within 30 minutes prior to exercise and within 15 minutes post-exercise, in random order. Total time from enrollment to completion will be at least 14 days. Testing visits will be separated by a minimum of 7 days of rest to allow for recovery and washout, based on a half-life of ≤8 hours for all ingredients present in the supplement.
Headaches are extremely common illnesses with a combined lifetime prevalence of 90-99% in Europe. Despite this high prevalence, there are persons who have never, in their whole life, encountered a headache. The aim of the study is to identify factors that protect against headache by studying pain perception, muscle tenderness and pain tolerance in people who never have had a headache (headache resistant) versus non-resistant controls. The investigators hope to contribute with novelty to the current understanding of headache pathophysiology and development of more efficient treatment of headache. The investigator examining: Quantitative sensory testing (cold pain threshold and heat pain threshold), Muscle tenderness (total tenderness score) and cold pressor test (time in the water and pain rating). All tests are performed the same day, by one investigator who are blinded to the grouping of the participants.
The investigators will assess the feasibility of activity monitoring armbands for continuous measurement of physical activity level in ME/CFS patients, during 6 months follow-up. The main purpose is to assess if continuous measurement of activity level may be incorporated in outcome measures in future clinical interventional trials.
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.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions that involve the temporomandibular joints, the masticatory muscles, and all associated tissues. These disorders are characterized by regional pain and limitation of mandibular range of motion. Pain-related TMD affects approximately 5% to 12% of the population and can affect individual's quality of life. The incidence is about 4 percent. Therapeutic ultrasound is a type of physical therapy that delivers energy via propagation of ultrasonic waves. One gap in knowledge is whether 1 megahertz (MHz) treating frequency has the same efficacy as treating with 3 MHz. This research proposes to test that.
This study investigates the evolution of sensory, motor and tissue variables following exercise-induced pain in wrist extensor muscles in healthy subjects.
Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is an acute micro-trauma or inflammatory response experienced in the most runners; and, it concurrently impairs athletic performance and may increase the risk of sports injury. Alleviating the symptoms of DOMS strategies are various; however, the specific recovery way remains unconcluded. Furthermore, few studies have investigated the effects of vibrating roller on alleviating the symptoms of DOMS and understand the biochemical changes in response to recovery of athletic performance. Therefore, this study hypothesizes that vibration rolling (VR) could provide a self-myofascial release. Meanwhile, vibration exercise could transmit vibration to specific muscle groups to decrease inflammation in corresponding to reduce muscular pain. Therefore, it could offer positive effects including improvements of flexibility, muscle stiffness, visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, jump, and dynamic balance.
