vibration rolling, non- vibration rolling,and static stretching for delayed-onset muscle soreness

Conditions: Delayed-onset Muscle Soreness

Summary: delayed-onset muscle soreness (doms) is an acute micro-trauma or inflammatory response experienced in the most runners; and, it concurrently impairs athletic performance and may increase the risk of sports injury. alleviating the symptoms of doms strategies are various; however, the specific recovery way remains unconcluded. furthermore, few studies have investigated the effects of vibrating roller on alleviating the symptoms of doms and understand the biochemical changes in response to recovery of athletic performance. therefore, this study hypothesizes that vibration rolling (vr) could provide a self-myofascial release. meanwhile, vibration exercise could transmit vibration to specific muscle groups to decrease inflammation in corresponding to reduce muscular pain. therefore, it could offer positive effects including improvements of flexibility, muscle stiffness, visual analog scale (vas) for pain, jump, and dynamic balance.
