Muscular Soreness (Immediate Versus Delayed Onset) : Lifting The Weight Only

1. The document describes a study protocol to measure immediate and delayed onset muscular soreness following exercise. It involves determining subjects' one repetition maximum for bicep curls before and after exercise. 2. The experimental subject performs two bouts of bicep curls at 60% of their 1RM until exhaustion, while the control subject does not exercise. 3. Both subjects rate their muscle soreness immediately and over 72 hours post-exercise using a 6-point scale. The data is recorded to analyze differences in strength changes and soreness between groups.

Muscular Soreness (Immediate Versus Delayed Onset)

1. Equipment a. Dumbbell (5 75lbs. / 35kg) b. Metronome

2. Protocols A. DAY 1: Determination of 1 Repetition Maximum (1 RM) (Control and Experimental subjects i. ii. iii. Determine the maximal amount of weight that can be lifted with the dominant arm (concentric 1 RM). Stand with your back braced against a wall and perform 1 repetition of a biceps curl, lifting the weight only. Add weight until the weight can no longer be lifted with your proper from 1 time. At that point, rate your Magnitude of Muscular Distress (MOMD) for the maximal lift using the pain scale in Box 1.0. iv. v. vi. vii. Record your MOMD and 1RM (Pre Concentric) in Data Table 1.0. Determine the maximal amount of weight that can be lowered using the nondominant arm (eccentric 1RM). Stand with your back braced against a wall and perform 1 repetition of a biceps curl, lowering the weight only. Begin with the concentric 1 RM weight; add or substract weight as necessary until the weight can no longer be lowered in a controlled manner. At that point, rate your MOMD for the maximal lift using the pain scale in Box 1.0. viii. Record your MOMD and 1 RM (Pre Eccentric) in Data Table 1.0.

B. DAY i. ii. iii.

Determination

of

Muscular

Endurance

(Experimental

Subjects) Calculate 60%of your 1 RM. Set the metronome to 60 beats.min-1 and stand with your back braced against a wall. Lift the 60% 1 RM with the dominant arm (biceps curl) and lower it with the non-dominant arm (reserve biceps curl) until exhaustion in the following manner: Count 1 Weight in dominant hand, flex both arms. Count 2 Transfer weight from dominant hand to non-dominant hand. Count 3 Weight in non-dominant hand, extend both arms. Count 4 Transfer weight from non-dominant hand to dominant hand. iv. If the muscular endurance test exceeds five minutes, terminate the test and add more weight for the second bout of endurance activity. Record the weight used and the time exhaustion in Data Table 1.0. v. vi. Rest for 5 minutes. Repeat step 3. Immediately upon cessation of the second bout of endurance exercise, record the weight used and the time to exhaustion in Data Table 1.0, and record your MOMD for both arms (concentric and eccentric) in Data Table 2.0 (immediate post-exercise: IM Post). vii. Continue to record your MOMD for 72 hours.

Note: The control subject does no activity during this time; however, he/she should record his/her MOMD in Data Table 3.0 after the experimental subjects second bout of endurance exercise (IM Post) as well as for the next 72 hours.

C. DAY 1: Strength Post-Test (Control and Experimental Subjects) i. Re-test concentric and eccentric 1 RM and record in Data Table 1.0 (Post Concentric and Post Eccentric)

i.

D. DAY 2: Determination of 1 RM (Control and Experimental Subjects) Determine your concentric and eccentric 1 RM and record in Data Table 1.0.

Student Activities A. Definitions Define the following key terms. For those terms which are measureable variables, describe in your own words what they mean (not how they are obtained or calculated). Indicate the unit(s) of measurement. 1. Concentric Contraction:

2. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS):

3. Eccentric Contraction:

4. Fatigue:

5. Immediate Muscle Sorness:

6. One Repetition Maximum (1 RM):

B. Analysis 1. Prepare a bar graph illustrating the change in 1 RM pre-post for both the experimental and control subject on Day 1. 2. Prepare a bar graph illustrating the change in 1 RM Day 1 pre to Day 2 for both the experimental and control subject. 3. Prepare a line graph indicating the degree of muscle soreness for concentric and eccentric arms over the past 72 hours for both the experimental and control subject.

C. Interpretation and Discussion 1. Discuss the results of the Day 1 pre-post 1 RM bar graph, draw conclusions from the results and physiologically explain the results.

2. Discuss the results of the Day 1 versus Day 2 1 RM bar graph, draw conclusions from the results and physiologically explain the results.

3. Discuss the results of the degree of muscle soreness graph, draw conclusions from the results and physiologically explain the results.

4. Differentiate between immediate and DOMS. Discuss the physiological cause(s) for immediate soreness. Discuss and evaluate at least two referenced theories for the physiological causes of DOMS.

D. Application 1. Name five (5) sport or exercise activities that are likely to cause DOMS. Defend your selections.

2. Name five (5) sport or exercise activities that are not likely to cause DOMS. Defend your selections.
