Summary

In the study, 34 healthy sedentary male volunteers were randomly divided into two groups as NM (n = 17) and SHAM-NM (n = 17). After the initial evaluation of the individuals, femoral nerve NM and placebo NM techniques were administered three sets a day with ten repetitions for three days a week for three weeks. Three days after the end of the applications, the second evaluations were made and the DOMS creation protocol for the quadriceps femoris (QF) muscle was initiated. In order to trigger DOMS in individuals, 30 sets and 10 repetitions of eccentric knee extension (35°-95° flexion angles, 30°/sec speed) were performed on the dominant lower extremity with an isokinetic dynamometer. Baseline evaluations were repeated immediately after the DOMS protocol, and at hours 24, 48, and 72. During evaluations, muscle damage (serum creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and inflammation (interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha) biomarkers, pain (activity), pressure pain threshold, and performance (one-leg jump, vertical jump) parameters were measured.

Conditions

  • Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

Interventions

OTHER

Femoral nerve neurodynamic mobilization

The mobilization was carried out with the patient lying on the non-dominant side in a total flexion position, and the therapist performed the hip extension movement with the knee joint kept in flexion till the patient felt soreness or pain. This position was held for three seconds and then released. This tensioning maneuver was repeated in three sets of ten repetitions at each session and an interval of 2 min between series were performed. A total of nine sessions were performed within three weeks.

OTHER

Femoral nerve placebo neurodynamic mobilization

The individual was asked to lie on his non-dominant side and keep his head in the midline. In this position, while the pelvis was stabilized, the upper leg, which was in full knee extension, was grasped and the hip was abducted for 3 seconds. This maneuver was repeated in three sets of ten repetitions at each session and an interval of 2 min between series were performed. A total of nine sessions were performed within three weeks.
