“…This finding is consistent with the results of the studies on the effect of eccentric work on animals, which showed that the circulating WBC count is unchanged (61). Moreover, Janssen and co-workers (36) found that an anti-inflammatory drug (flurbiprofen) had no effect on the perception of soreness after eccentric muscular activity in humans.…”

“…Increases in serum CK have been suggested to be due to membrane damage (e.g., 55). Janssen and co-workers (36) were not able to detect any differences in the level of CK between exercises not giving rise to soreness (concentric) and those leading to soreness (eccentric). Therefore, the discrepancy between the results of Hagberg and co-workers and Janssen and co-workers are likely to depend on the different types of work, i.e., exercises involving continuous load (isometric work) cause more pronounced ischemia (10) leading to increased membrane permeability (54).…”

“…Sports medicine therapy for DMS currently employs the use of oral medication (anti-inflammatories and analgesics) (8,17,20,24,30,31) and topical application of thermal agents (25-28, 37, 39). The use of high velocity resistance exercise has not been previously proposed as a therapeutic modality for dealing with muscle soreness.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a high velocity therapeutic exercise regimen (20 voluntary maximum knee extension/flexion contractions at approximately 300°/sec, 3-min recovery repeated for 6-sets), on muscle soreness and muscular performance. Data was collected immediately prior to inducing muscle soreness with an eccentric stepping exercise (baseline), immediately after the muscle soreness exercise bout, at 24 hours (when intervention was initiated to the experimental group), and at 48 hours after the muscle soreness bout. Dependent variables measured for the ten subjects were: 1) Maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) by the quadriceps; 2) Peak torque (PT) by the quadriceps at high resistance; 3) Total work (TW) by the quadriceps at low resistance; 4) Intensity (I) of muscle soreness of the quadriceps; 5) Amount of quadriceps [Area-(A)] affected by muscle soreness; 6) Soreness perception index (SPI) of quadriceps (IXA). MVC, PT, and TW percent decrease from baseline were significantly less (p < 0.05) for the experimental group than the control group at 48 hours postmuscle soreness bout (MVC: 8.3 versus 33.4%; PT: 3.8 versus 12.1%; TW: 2.3 versus 13.8%, respectively). SPI was also significantly less (p < 0.05) at 48 hours postmuscle soreness bout for the experimental versus control [0.8 (1 = 0.027 x A = 29.3) versus 1.4 (1 = 0.029 x A = 46. I)]. The data from this study indicates that a therapeutic regimen of high speed voluntary muscle contractions is effective in decreasing muscle soreness and facilitating return of normal muscular performance.

“…This however, is only a hypothesis which has to be proven. The therapeutic value of medicaments in muscle soreness is yet not completely elucidated but it is probably doubtful (5). According to the answers in our questionnaire the members of one team received a muscle relaxant medicament, but they did not experience a relieve of muscle soreness.…”
