Reduction of delayed onset muscle soreness by exercise in the first dorsal interosseous muscle

The 29th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Physical Therapy in Nagano

The first dorsal interosseous muscle was injured by centrifugal contraction, and the same exercise was performed 4 weeks later to examine the changes in maximal voluntary muscle strength, IL-6, CK, and muscle pain. 2) The second exercise resulted in faster recovery of maximal muscle strength, less muscle pain, and less increase in IL-6 and CK, suggesting that it may reduce myofascial receptor stimulation. The second exercise resulted in faster recovery of maximal muscle strength, less muscle pain, and less elevation of IL-6 and CK, suggesting that it may reduce myofascial receptor stimulation.
