Abstract

Delayed onset muscle soreness is a sensation of discomfort that occurs 24h after exercise, and it is associated with the performance of unfamiliar and high force muscle wor, such as eccentric contractions. The injury to the muscle has been well described but the mechanism underlying the injury is not fully understood. Although the pathophysiological processes underlying delayed onset muscle soreness are not completely understood, many researchers have investigated various treatments in a attempt to reduce the soreness. These treatments have focused on reducing the inflammation, or edema, consequent to tissue damage, and breaking up the cycle which is thought provoke tonic muscle spasm or pain. Physical therapy is the most importance thechniques to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness. Physical therapy on delayed onset muscle soreness includes massage, exercise, therapeutic ultrasound, TENS, stretching and cryotherapy, this investigation should encourage physical therapists to experiment further with various techniques to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness.
