Abstract
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is related to pain that follows an unfamiliar eccentric exercise that causes damage to the skeletal muscle (Hilbert, et al. 2003). The pain typically appears within the first 24 hours and starts to peak between 48-72 hours post exercise. Symptoms include the feeling of stiffness, pain, and inflammation. Some common forms of treatment for DOMS are ice packs, hot packs, and topical analgesics.
