Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to assess the acute effects of a single NM treatment session on DOMS and to compare them with those of one foam roller (FR) session. Following the damaging plyometric exercise bout, the participants were randomly assigned in a counter-balanced fashion to either a FR or NM treatment group; treatments were administered 48-h post-exercise. The dependent variables were recorded before the exercise, 48-h post-exercise before treatment, and immediately post-treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pain

  the numeric pain-rating scale (NPRS)

  1 minute after treatment

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Leg dynamometer measurements

  2 minutes after treatment

• Surface electromyography (sEMG)

  5 minutes after treatment

Study Arms (2)

Manual therapy Foam

EXPERIMENTAL

The subjects included rolled the foam roller down their quadriceps using short kneading-like motions until it was just above their patellae, and then rolled it back to its initial position in one fluid motion. The subjects repeated this motion for 1 min, rested for 30 s, and then repeated it again for 5 sets

Other: Manual therapy

Manual therapy Nerve

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The subjects was positioned lying on his/her side with a pillow underside leg (without fully flexing it) and the cervical and thoracic spines flexed. The investigator flex the knee and the hip extended and then put it back to its initial position in one fluid motion. The subjects repeated this motion for 1 min, rested for 30 s, and then repeated it again for 5 sets

Other: Manual therapy

Interventions

Manual therapy OTHER

The subjects repeated this motion for 1 min, rested for 30 s, and then repeated it again for 5 sets.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 40 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• All subjects were moderately active (Category 2) as assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) questionnaire (Craig et al., 2003).
• None of the subjects had a recent history of intensive training, heavy eccentric resistance, or plyometric exercise, and all subjects were free from musculoskeletal disorders in the last year.
• All subjects were asked to refrain from unaccustomed exercise during the experimental period, and the subjects abstained from all medications and dietary supplements during the experimental period and between testing sessions.

You may not qualify if:

• Sedentary
• patients with pain
