To test the hypothesis that delayed onset muscular soreness (DOMS) following intense eccentric muscle contraction could be due to increased production of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), ten healthy male subjects were studied. Using a double-blind randomized crossover design, each subject performed two isokinetic tests separated by a period of at least 6 weeks: once with placebo, and once with piro...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have evaluated the effectiveness of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation for preventing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and muscle damage induced by eccentric exercise, their findings have been inconclusive. Since taurine has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects, the present study investigated the combined effect of BCAA and taurine on DOMS a...

Modulated pulsed power magnetron sputtering (MPPMS) of titanium was investigated as a function argon gas pressure using optical emission spectroscopy (OES). Delays in discharge and the formation comb-like current waveforms due to splitting pulsing were observed with decrease pressure. This observation corresponds evolution from MPPMS condition deep-oscillation-magnetron-sputtering (DOMS)-like b...

Abstract Paleokarst breccias are a common feature of sedimentary rift basins. The Billefjorden Trough in the High Arctic archipelago Svalbard is an example such rift. Here Carboniferous stratigraphy exhibits intervals paleokarst formed by gypsum dissolution. In this study we integrate digital outcrop models (DOMs) with 2D ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey to extrapolate external irregular g...

Serum creatine kinase (CK) activity reflects muscle membrane disruption. Oestrogen has antioxidant and membrane stabilising properties, yet no study has compared the CK and muscle soreness (DOMS) response to unaccustomed exercise between genders when all menstrual phases are represented in women. Fifteen eumenorrhoeic women (early follicular, EF (n = 5); late follicular, LF (n = 5); mid-luteal,...

The aim was to investigate the effects of far infrared (FIR) ray emitting clothes on indirect markers of exercise-induced muscle damage and physical performance recovery after a plyometric bout applied to soccer players. Twenty-one male players (18.9±0.6 years; 70.8±5.01 kg; 178.3±0.06 cm) performed 100 drop-jumps. Six hours after the bout, athletes put on FIR clothes (FIR) (density of 225 g·m(...

Liquid crystalline thermosetting epoxy, 4,4'-diglycidyloxy-α-methylstilbene (DOMS) was synthesized and characterized with cross-polarized optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Carbon nanotube (CNT) or graphene reinforced DOMS composites were fabricated by melt blending with sulfanilamide (SAA) as a curing agent. To investigate the thermal degradation behavior, th...

In this paper x, X, X1, X2 are sets. Let Y be a functional set. The functor DOMS(Y ) is defined by: (Def. 1) DOMS(Y ) = ⋃ {dom f : f ranges over elements of Y }. Let us consider X. We say that X is complex-functions-membered if and only if: (Def. 2) If x ∈ X, then x is a complex-valued function. Let us consider X. We say that X is extended-real-functions-membered if and only if: (Def. 3) If x ∈...
