Abstract
Introduction: Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) when they perform a different type of sport or practice new skills. DOMS is different from the acute pain experienced during and shortly after exercise. It usually appears after a pain free period (12–24 h), peaks at 24–72 hours and disappears within 7 days of the exercise.
Objective: To investigate the Effect of Court-Type Thai Traditional Massage (CTTM) on DOMS in The Biceps Brachii Muscle After Resistance Exercise.
Methods: Mae Fah Luang University student female, aged 18-22 years, 30 people. This was a Randomized Control Trial study. The volunteers were divided into 2 groups, the first group was a Court type Thai massage experiment with 15 people and the second group was a control group of 15 people. The subjects tested the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Range of Motion (ROM) and swelling were measured before, immediately and 24, 48 and 72 hours after the exercise.
Results: The results showed by comparing the differences between the groups, it was found that there was a statistically significant decrease in pain level (p<0.05) at 48 hours. Range of motion of the experimental group there was statistically increased (p<0.05) at 72 hours. The swelling of the muscles was not statistically in both groups and between groups.
Conclusion: CTTM can help muscles relax, reduce muscle contraction and reduce DOMS symptoms after resistance exercise. which shows that the CTTM after the experiment in the experimental group, VAS was lower than the control group and increased range of motion.
