Effect Of Resistance Exercise Intensity On Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness [efeito Da Intensidade Do Exercício De Força Sobre A Ocorrência Da Dor Muscular De Início Tardio]

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of resistance exercise intensity on the perceived DOMS. In order to investigate the hypothesis that the intensity determines the magnitude of DOMS, 40 healthy, untrained men were subjected to two bouts of resistance exercise performed at different intensities (50%-1RM (n=20) and 75%-1RM (n=20)). DOMS was assessed using visual analogue scale, 24, 48 and 72 hours after each training bout. DOMS increased after both exercise bouts (50%-1RM and 75%-1RM) (p<0.05), peaking at 48 hours (p<0.05). However, DOMS did not differ between exercise sessions (50%-1RM and 75%-1RM) (p>0.05). The results suggested that the intensity does not seem to influence the magnitude of DOMS when the total volume of load lifted during the exercise bout is equalized.242253259Borg, G.A., Psychophysical bases of perceived exertion (1982) Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise Madison, 14 (5), pp. 377-381Chapman, D.W., Work and peak torque during eccentric exercise do not predict changes in markers of muscle damage (2007) British Journal of Sports Medicine, London, 42 (7), pp. 585-591Cheung, K., Hume, P., Maxwell, L., Delayed onset muscle soreness: Treatment strategies and performance factors (2003) Sports Medicine Auckland, 33 (2), pp. 145-164Clarkson, P.M., Hubal, M.J., Exercise-induced muscle damage in humans (2002) American Journal Physical Medicine Rehabilitation, Baltimore, 81 (11), pp. 52-69Clarkson, P.M., Nosaka, K., Braun, B., Muscle function after exercise-induced muscle damage and rapid adaptation (1992) Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise Hagerstown, 24 (5), pp. 512-520Clarkson, P.M., Sayers, S.P., Etiology of exercise-induced muscle damage (1999) Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology, Champaign, 24 (3), pp. 234-248Conolly, D.A.J., Sayers, S.P., McHugh, M.P., Treatment and prevention of delayed onset muscle soreness (2003) Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, Champaign, 17 (1), pp. 197-208Day, M., Monitoring exercise intensity during resistance training using the session rpe scale (2004) Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, Champaign, 18 (2), pp. 353-358Farthing, J., Chilibeck, P., The effects of eccentric and concentric training at different velocities on muscle hypertrophy (2003) European Journal Applied Physiology, Berlin, 89 (6), pp. 578-586Fleck, S.J., Kraemer, W.J., (1997) Designing Resistance Training Programs, , 2nd ed.
