Brief Summary

Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is an acute micro-trauma or inflammatory response experienced in the most runners; and, it concurrently impairs athletic performance and may increase the risk of sports injury. Alleviating the symptoms of DOMS strategies are various; however, the specific recovery way remains unconcluded. Furthermore, few studies have investigated the effects of vibrating roller on alleviating the symptoms of DOMS and understand the biochemical changes in response to recovery of athletic performance. Therefore, this study hypothesizes that vibration rolling (VR) could provide a self-myofascial release. Meanwhile, vibration exercise could transmit vibration to specific muscle groups to decrease inflammation in corresponding to reduce muscular pain. Therefore, it could offer positive effects including improvements of flexibility, muscle stiffness, visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, jump, and dynamic balance.

Study Arms (3)

static stretchin

EXPERIMENTAL

Static extremity muscles of the lower extremities, including: gluteal muscles (major muscle group: gluteus maximus), anterior thigh muscles (strand rectus, medial femoral muscle, lateral femoral muscle, medial femoral muscle), posterior thigh muscles (main muscle) Group: semimembranosus, semitendinosus, biceps femoris), anterior muscles of the calf (anterior tibialis anterior muscle, extensor muscle), and posterior muscles of the calf (gastrocnemius, soleus muscle). 4 groups per muscle group, 30 seconds/group

Other: static stretching

non- vibration rolling

EXPERIMENTAL

Lower limb part. Such as: gluteal muscle (main muscle group: gluteus maximus), anterior thigh muscle group (straight rectus, medial femoral muscle, lateral femoral muscle, femoral intermediate muscle), posterior thigh muscle group (main muscle group: semimembranosus, Semitendinosus, biceps femoris), anterior muscles of the calf (anterior tibialis anterior muscle, extensor muscle), and posterior muscles of the calf (gastrocnemius, soleus muscle). Each leg of each pair performs 30 seconds/group for a total of 4 groups for a total time of 20 minutes.

Device: rolling
