About

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and decrease of musculoskeletal function are due to high intensity training and / or sports activities. These occur due to micro lesions of muscle tissue resulting in nociceptor sensitization. Non-pharmacological interventions to attenuate DOMS and favor muscle recovery have been studied. These interventions aim to maintain performance levels, especially in competitions. Among these interventions, cryotherapy (cold water immersion) and active recovery already have good clinical evidence. Currently a new proposal has been gaining ground for myofascial self-release (foam roller), however its mechanisms and clinical evidence are not yet well established. The aim of the present research is to compare the effects of passive recovery, active recovery, cold water immersion recovery and recovery through myofascial self-release on DOMS and the functionality of healthy volunteers undergoing resistance exercise.

Full description

The volunteers included in the study will perform an evaluation to verify the eligibility criteria, physical evaluation (weight, height, systemic blood pressure) and functional capacity to determine the exercise parameters. After will be presented to the four interventions, ie the recovery techniques after the exercises favoring their adaptation. There will be four resistance exercise sessions followed by interventions with a one week interval between each session. Interventions (passive recovery = 1, active recovery = 2, recovery with IAF = 3 and recovery with myofascial self-release = 4) will be randomized. Functionality assessments will be performed before and one hour after the intervention protocol. DOMS will be evaluated 24 and 72 hours after the exercise protocol. Evaluators will be blind to interventions.

---

50 participants in 4 patient groups

Exercise session followed passive recovery

Active Comparator group

Description:

Prior each to the exercises sessions (4), volunteers will undergo specific warm-up in each exercise adopted (a series of 15 repetitions with 40% of the maximum load obtained in the 10RM test). The exercise sessions will consist of four sets for 10RM, with an interval of one minute between sets and two minutes between exercises. The exercise sequence (extension chair, squat and leg press) will be randomized through a closed brown envelope draw. Prior to the 10RM test and data collection, standardized instructions regarding the experimental procedure and exercise technique will be provided. Verbal stimuli to the volunteer will be performed during the evaluations and exercises (TEIXEIRA et al., 2014a, 2014b). The interval between each exercise session will be one week. Volunteers will not perform any form of recovery for 20 min after resistance exercise session (TEIXEIRA et al., 2014a, 2014b).

Other: Passive recovery

Exercise session followed active recovery

Active Comparator group

Description:

The interval between each exercise session will be one week.

The exercise sequence (extension chair, squat and leg press) will be randomized through a closed brown envelope draw. Prior to the 10RM test and data collection, standardized instructions regarding the experimental procedure and exercise technique will be provided. Verbal stimuli to the volunteer will be performed during the evaluations and exercises (TEIXEIRA et al., 2014a, 2014b). Active recovery for 20 minutes (MIKA et al., 2016; CRISAFULLI et al., 2003; FAIRCHILD et al., 2003; VANDERTHOMMED; MAKROF; DEMOULIN, 2010);

Exercise session followed immersion in cold water recovery

Active Comparator group

Description:

Verbal stimuli to the volunteer will be performed during the evaluations and exercises (TEIXEIRA et al., 2014a, 2014b). Volunteers will be immersed in cold water immediately after exercise protocol (MACHADO et al., 2016b; MCDERMOTT et al., 2009).
