RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MUSCLE DAMAGE AND DELAY ONSET MUSCLE SORENESS AFTER STRENGTH TRAINING
Abstract
The aim of this study is to find out the relationship between the muscle damage and muscle soreness after strength training. 11 sedantery males (age: 28,636±2,730 years, height: 179,090±7,660 cm, weight: 78,272±5,386 kg, BMI: 24,442±1,671 kg/m2) participated in this study. A training program which was based on the subjects’ maximal strength was prepared using pyramidal method with the equipments for the inferior and posterior extremities. Blood samples were taken before the training program, immediately after, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the treaning. CK levels were evaluated from the blood samples taken. Subjects’ soreness values of the muscles trained were determined using the Likert scale. It was found out that CK started to increase immediately after the training and reached its highest level 24 hours after the training, started to decrease after 48 hours and approached the level of immediately after training. This indicated that a muscle soreness occurs in sedanteries after strength training. Just like CK levels, soreness levels also increased immediately after the training and reached its highest level 24 hours after the training, started to decrease after 48 hours and after 72 hours decreased significantly. As a result, it was found out that maximal strength training caused significant muscle damage. Muscle soreness increased significantly after strenght training and this increase was related to muscle damage. Muscle damage is an important factor to explain the soreness occurs after strength training.
