Clinical Trial Summary

To find out the better treatment options from active and passive static stretching in delayed onset of muscle soreness in recreational body players.

Description:

After registering participant's randomization will be done through sealed envelope method and will be allocated in both groups equally. Group 1 will receive passive static stretching while group 2 will receive active static stretching. All subjects will be assessed before the intervention through likert muscle soreness scale, Numeric Rating Pain Scale and range of motion for Shoulder, elbow, and wrist by a Goniometer. After that all subjects will perform eccentric exhaust weight exercises in the gym of all mentioned joints, three sets at each joint. Before giving the intervention they will assess of all mentioned parameters. Group 1 groups will perform passive static stretching and group 2 will perform active static stretching. At the end of the intervention participants will be assessed again using the same parameters. Statistical analysis will be carried out to compare the outcomes measures of both groups.
