Background: Our aims were to investigate the time-course effects of a futsal match on performance, oxidative stress, and muscle damage markers, as well inflammatory antioxidant responses during 6-day post-match period. Methods: Thirty-four female high-level players assessed several inflammation, subjective soreness, rate perceived exertion, performance tests before match, immediately after, 24 ...

Introduction: L-Arginine supplementation improves antioxidant defenses through L-Arginine/nitric oxide pathways. This investigation assesses the influences of acuteL-Arginine supplementation on selected markers of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after one by one heavy eccentric exercise in healthy young females. Methods: Twelve healthy young females students of the University of Mohaghegh...

Inflammation and pain induced by delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) can be induced by eccentric exercise or an unaccustomed activity. The condition can causes problems in exercising and for athletes. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of 150mg curcumin supplementation immediately after intensive eccentric exercise. Evaluations were made for total antioxidant Capacity (TAC), mu...

BACKGROUND One reason for stretching before or after exercise is to reduce the risk of soreness after exercise.1 Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) typically arises within the fi rst day after exercise and peaks in intensity at around 48 h.2 This review is an update of a Cochrane review fi rst published in 2007.3 A large randomised trial (2377 participants) of both pre and postexercise stretc...

OBJECTIVE To pilot a model for determining whether a homoeopathic medicine is superior to placebo for delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). DESIGN Randomised double blind placebo controlled trial. SETTING Physiotherapy department of a homoeopathic hospital. SUBJECTS Sixty eight healthy volunteers (average age 30; 41% men) undertook a 10 minute period of bench stepping carrying a small wei...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiological and psychological effects of massage on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). METHODS Eighteen volunteers were randomly assigned to either a massage or control group. DOMS was induced with six sets of eight maximal eccentric contractions of the right hamstring, which were followed 2 h later by 20 min of massage or sham ...

  Objective(s): The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of L-glutamine on electromyographic (EMG) activity of the quadriceps muscle injured by eccentric exercise (EE).   Materials and Methods: Seventeen healthy men (age: 22.35±2.27 yr; body mass: 69.91±9.78 kg; height: 177.08±4.32 cm) were randomly and double-blind study with subjects assigned to either an L-glutamine supple...
