Summary

There is a need for further experimental research in order to gain a more in-depth understanding of this vicious cycle of pain and sleep disorders. Although the effects of chronic pain and its impact on sleep have been extensively researched, the influence of sleep on acute pain has been addressed in only a limited number of studies. A more comprehensive grasp of the manner in which sleep influences the pain sensory profile subsequent to an acute injury may offer insight into the significance of sleep during recovery stage. In this respect, the objective of this study was to examine the effect of sleep on pain perception, pain sensitivity and range of motion following the induction of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) through eccentric loading, specifically through the performance of squat exercises.

Conditions

  • Delayed-onset Muscle Soreness
  • Sleep
  • Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Sleep

A training programme was devised which involved the participants performing maximum squat repetitions with their own body weight as a workload, in order to induce delayed-onset muscle soreness in the quadriceps. Before the maximum squat repetition, all participants performed a warm-up programme including 5 minutes of walking. Participants were instructed to perform the maximum number of repetitions within the one minute allotted for each set of squats and, after a 10-second rest period, to continue the programme in the same cycle until exhaustion. In the initial 24-hour period following the intervention, participants were instructed to maintain their habitual sleep schedules. In consideration of the delayed-onset muscle soreness, which typically occurs between 24 to 48 hours following maximal squat intervention.The sleep group was instructed to engage in a minimum of six hours of sleep over the course of the 24-hour observation period.

OTHER

Non-sleep

A similar delayed-onset muscle soreness inducing protocol was applied to the sleep group.Participants in the non-sleep group were subjected to sleep restriction. The participants were permitted to sleep for a maximum of four hours in total over the course of the 24-hour period in non-sleep group.
