Summary

Volunteers were divided randomly in five experimental groups. VAS (Visual Analogic scale) to measure DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) and blood samples was taken before any procedure. Then, volunteers performed stretching and warm-up followed by MVC test (isometric test in isokinetic dynamometer to measure muscle function). After, volunteers performed the exercise protocol (75 eccentric contractions) to lead to muscle fatigue. Immediately after exercise protocol (1 minute) and 1 hour, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after, blood sample, VAS measure and MVC test were repeated. The treatments according to randomisation were performed three minutes after exercise protocol and it were performed again in 24, 48, 72h after eccentric exercise.

The variables regarding to muscle function (MVC, DOMS) and the indirect marker of muscle damage (CK activity) were monitored in all time points mentioned above (baseline, 1 minute, 1 hour, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after exercise protocol).
