Brief Summary

Delayed muscle soreness is pain and tenderness that occurs after unusual exercises, most often involving eccentric contraction. This sensitivity, which usually begins in the distal part of the muscle and is intense, spreads progressively throughout the entire muscle 24-48 hours after exercise. The intensity of the discomfort increases within the first 24 hours following cessation of exercise, peaks between 24 and 72 hours, decreases and eventually disappears within 5-7 days after exercise. Delayed onset muscle soreness is considered one of the most common and recurring forms of sports injuries. The most prominent symptoms and findings are a decrease in joint range of motion and strength, edema, stiffness, pain and tenderness. In the planned study, the investigatorss aimed to compare the effects of kinesio taping, manual drainage, placebo kinesio taping and placebo kinesio taping on pain intensity, pain threshold and tolerance, sensory sensitivity and connective tissue stiffness in individuals with delayed-onset muscle soreness.48 healthy adults will be included in our study. Participants will be divided into four groups of 12 people: kinesio taping, placebo kinesio taping, manual lymph drainage and placebo manual lymph drainage. Our participants will have a maximum repetition weight on their wrist flexor muscles, and a delayed muscle soreness protocol will be applied using 80% of this amount. In our participants, pain at rest and activity (VAS), pressure pain threshold and tolerance (algometer), tactile sense (Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test), edema (circumference measurement with tape measure), treatment satisfaction and effect (VAS), tissue tension (skin rolling). and perceived fatigue (VAS) will be evaluated. The researchers plan to conduct 5 assessments: before the delayed-onset muscle soreness protocol, immediately after the protocol, immediately after treatment, and 24 hours and 48 hours after the initial assessment.

Study Arms (4)

kinesio taping

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Kinesio taping is a widely used physiotherapy application for muscle pain. Kinesio taping will be applied to patients in this group.

Other: kinesio taping

placebo kinesio taping

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Kinesio taping is a widely used physiotherapy application for muscle pain. In this group, placebo kinesio taping will be applied to the patients.

Other: placebo kinesio taping

manual lymph drainage

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Manual lymphatic drainage is a method commonly used in cases where lymph flow is impaired. Manual lymphatic drainage will be applied to patients in this group.

Other: manual lymph drainage

placebo manual lymph drainage

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Manual lymphatic drainage is a method commonly used in cases where lymph flow is impaired. In this group, patients will receive placebo manual lymphatic drainage.

Other: placebo manual lymph drainage

Interventions

kinesio taping OTHER

The 5 cm wide Kinesio tape (Kinesio® Tex Gold™, Albuquerque, NM) applied to the participants has the ability to stretch up to 140% of its original length. Moreover, it provides comfortable use for 3 to 5 days thanks to its latex-free, cotton, hypoallergenic and porous features. The skin will be cleaned with alcohol before applying Kinesio tape. To prevent muscle tension, the physiotherapist will apply the kinesio tape inhibition technique to the wrist flexor muscles with light tension (15-25% of the current tension) from the end point to the origin. We will use this inhibition technique to prevent muscle spasm. Kinesio taping will be applied immediately after exercise

kinesio taping

placebo kinesio taping OTHER

5 cm wide and 0.5 mm thick I-shaped Kinesio tape (Kinesio Tex® Gold) will be used. The tape will be applied in a plus-shaped, tension-free and technical sitting position. Kinesio taping will be applied immediately after exercise

placebo kinesio taping

manual lymph drainage OTHER

Participants will lie in a supine position with their knees bent. Manual lymphatic drainage will begin with abdominal lymph drainage followed by central lymph stimulation. Then, bilateral axillary lymph nodes will be stimulated and the fluid in the exercised arm will be directed to the axillary lymph nodes. While the patients are in the prone position, the axillary lymph nodes will be stimulated in the same way and each manual lymphatic drainage will be performed from the back to the axillary lymph node. Each treatment session will last approximately 30 minutes

manual lymph drainage

placebo manual lymph drainage OTHER

Participants will lie in a supine position with their knees bent. It will only be moved in a stroking style with hand contact from the fingers towards the armpit.
