Summary:
Delayed muscle soreness is pain and tenderness that occurs after unusual exercises, most often involving eccentric contraction. This sensitivity, which usually begins in the distal part of the muscle and is intense, spreads progressively throughout the entire muscle 24-48 hours after exercise. The intensity of the discomfort increases within the first 24 hours following cessation of exercise, peaks between 24 and 72 hours, decreases and eventually disappears within 5-7 days after exercise.

Delayed onset muscle soreness is considered one of the most common and recurring forms of sports injuries. The most prominent symptoms and findings are a decrease in joint range of motion and strength, edema, stiffness, pain and tenderness. In the planned study, the investigatorss aimed to compare the effects of kinesio taping, manual drainage, placebo kinesio taping and placebo kinesio taping on pain intensity, pain threshold and tolerance, sensory sensitivity and connective tissue stiffness in individuals with delayed-onset muscle soreness.48 healthy adults will be included in our study. Participants will be divided into four groups of 12 people: kinesio taping, placebo kinesio taping, manual lymph drainage and placebo manual lymph drainage. Our participants will have a maximum repetition weight on their wrist flexor muscles, and a delayed muscle soreness protocol will be applied using 80% of this amount. In our participants, pain at rest and activity (VAS), pressure pain threshold and tolerance (algometer), tactile sense (Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test), edema (circumference measurement with tape measure), treatment satisfaction and effect (VAS), tissue tension (skin rolling). and perceived fatigue (VAS) will be evaluated. The researchers plan to conduct 5 assessments: before the delayed-onset muscle soreness protocol, immediately after the protocol, immediately after treatment, and 24 hours and 48 hours after the initial assessment.

Primary Outcome Measures: Pain at rest and activity, It will be evaluated with a visual analog scale. Possible scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain), Three days|Pressure pain threshold and tolerance, It will be measured with an algometer. The result will be displayed in pounds, Three days
Secondary Outcome Measures: Tactile sensation, Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test will be used for tactile sensation.Monofilament sets containing sizes 2.83, 3.61, 4.31, 4.56, 6.65 will be used., Three days|Edema, Edema measurement will be made with a non-flexible tape measure. Will be recorded in centimeters, Three days|Tissue tension, Tissue tension will be evaluated on the forearm with the skin rolling technique. In all planned evaluations, the tension bands will be evaluated according to the amount of tension (sensitivity) felt by the individual and the amount of tension felt by the therapist as "none (0)", "mild (1)", "moderate (2)" and "severe (3)"., Three days|Treatment satisfaction and impact, It will be evaluated with a visual analog scale. It will be scored between 0 - 10. 0(I am not happy at all)- 10(I am completely satisfied), One day|perceived fatigue, It will be evaluated with a visual analog scale. It will be scored between 0 - 10. 0(I'm not tired at all) - 10(I'm completely tired)., Three days
