Comparison of Active and Passive Static Stretching in Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness of Recreational Body Builders

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
To find out the better treatment options from active and passive static stretching in delayed onset of muscle soreness in recreational body players.

Detailed Description
-----------------
After registering participant's randomization will be done through sealed envelope method and will be allocated in both groups equally. Group 1 will receive passive static stretching while group 2 will receive active static stretching. All subjects will be assessed before the intervention through likert muscle soreness scale, Numeric Rating Pain Scale and range of motion for Shoulder, elbow, and wrist by a Goniometer. After that all subjects will perform eccentric exhaust weight exercises in the gym of all mentioned joints, three sets at each joint. Before giving the intervention they will assess of all mentioned parameters. Group 1 groups will perform passive static stretching and group 2 will perform active static stretching. At the end of the intervention participants will be assessed again using the same parameters. Statistical analysis will be carried out to compare the outcomes measures of both groups.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Numerical Pain Rating Scale | Assesses the subjective intensity of pain; ages 18 and above | 8 weeks | 
| Goniometer | A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint. Range of measurements flexion extension, abduction adduction, internal and external rotation, elbow flexion and extension wrist flexion and extension and radial and ulner deviation | 8 weeks | 
| Likert muscle Soreness Scale | Scale Description 0 An absence of soreness A light pain felt only when touched / a vague ache A moderate pain felt only when touched / a slight persistent pain A light pain when walking up or down stairs A light pain when walking on a flat surface / painful A moderate pain, stiffness or weakness when walking / very painful A severe pain that limits my ability to move | 8 weeks |
