“…Regarding the influence of post-exercise CWI on muscle stiffness, the efficiency seems to be dependent on the type of the previous exercise. The application of post-exercise CWI is a commonly used therapy to enhance recovery, and thereby to counteract EIMD or DOMS [3,4,15,18,32,33]. Particularly in elite sports, CWI is recommended by many physical therapists and coaches [1].…”

“…As recommended, absolute shear wave velocities (SWV in m/s) were obtained in the representative ROI in longitudinal parallel axis of the muscle as recommended in order to avoid any anisotropic effects [20,21]. Ten measurement repetitions with 10 manually chosen ROI positioning based on the fixed field of view were assessed for each probe position and anatomical section, following previously published protocols [18,22,23]; mean values were considered. The probe position was marked during the first trial using a permanent marker to ensure identical probe positions for the following post-intervention trials (▶ Fig.…”

Background Cold-water immersion (CWI) has become a popular preventive, regenerative and performance-enhancing intervention in various sports. However, its effects on soft tissue, including changes of intramuscular stiffness, are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of CWI on muscle stiffness. Patients/Material and Methods Thirty healthy participants were included and divided into the three following groups (n = 10): 1) post-ESU group: exercise and CWI (post-exercise set-up); 2) control group: exercise without CWI (control condition); 3) pre-ESU group: CWI alone (pre-exercise set-up). Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography was conducted to assess tissue stiffness (shear wave velocity, SWV). Values obtained at resting conditions (baseline, t0) were compared to values post-exercise (t1, for post-ESU group and control group), post-CWI (t2, for post-ESU group and pre-ESU group; rest for control group) and to 60-min follow-up time (t3, for all groups). Data were assessed in superficial and deep muscle tissue (rectus femoris muscle, RF; vastus intermedius muscle, VI). Results For the post-ESU group (CWI post-exercise), there was no significant difference between the time points of measurements: exercise (t1: RF: 1.63 m/s; VI: 1.54 m/s), CWI (t2: RF: 1.63 m/s; VI: 1.53 m/s) and at 60-min follow-up (t3: RF: 1.72 m/s; VI: 1.61 m/s). In the control group, a significant decrease of SWV was found between baseline conditions at t0 and post-exercise (t1) at VI (VI: 1.37 m/s; p = 0.004; RF: 1.59 m/s; p = 0.084). For t2 and t3, no further significant changes were detected. Regarding the pre-exercise set-up (pre-ESU group), a significant decrease in SWV from baseline to t2 in VI (1.60 m/s to 1.49 m/s; VI: p = 0.027) was found. Conclusion This study shows varying influences of CWI on muscle stiffness. Overall, we did not detect any significant effects of CWI on muscle stiffness post-exercise. Muscle stiffness-related effects of CWI differ in the context of a pre- or post-exercise condition and have to be considered in the implementation of CWI to ensure its potential preventive and regenerative benefits.

“…Some previous studies reported that compression garments reduced muscle oscillation and stabilized the array of muscle fibers during the recovery period, which could ease the mechanical stress on tissues [34,43,44]. Continuous wearing of compression garments (18 -21 mmHg) during the inflammation phase of DOMS (60 h) showed a premature normalization of muscle stiffness in the gastrocnemius muscle assessed with acoustic radiation force impulse [45]. Otherwise, the same authors reported no significant effect on the development of muscle edema and muscle soreness [45,46].…”

Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) describes an entity of ultrastructural muscle damage. The manifestation of DOMS is caused by eccentric muscle contractions or unaccustomed forms of exercise. Clinical signs include impaired muscular force capacities, painful restriction of movement, stiffness, swelling, and altered biomechanics in adjacent joints. Although DOMS is categorised as a mild type of muscle damage, it is one of the most common reasons for compromised sportive performance. In the last decade, many hypotheses have been developed to explain the aetiology of DOMS, and there are a wide range of different interventions aiming to prevent or alleviate the symptoms. Many studies have evaluated various types of cold or heat therapy, compression, massage, physical therapy or nutritional interventions. Treatment considerations focus on the primary prevention of ultrastructural lesions during exercise, the treatment of the inflammatory response that leads to DOMS, and recovery strategies for manifest DOMS. This narrative review aims to present an overview of the current treatment and preventive strategies in the field of DOMS.

PurposePostexercise recovery rate is a vital component of designing personalized training protocols and rehabilitation plans. Tracking exercise‐induced muscle damage and recovery requires sensitive tools that can probe the muscles' state and composition noninvasively.MethodsTwenty‐four physically active males completed a running protocol consisting of a 60‐min downhill run on a treadmill at −10% incline and 65% of maximal heart rate. Quantitative mapping of MRI T2 was performed using the echo‐modulation‐curve algorithm before exercise, and at two time points: 1 h and 48 h after exercise.ResultsT2 values increased by 2%–4% following exercise in the primary mover muscles and exhibited further elevation of 1% after 48 h. For the antagonist muscles, T2 values increased only at the 48‐h time point (2%–3%). Statistically significant decrease in the SD of T2 values was found following exercise for all tested muscles after 1 h (16%–21%), indicating a short‐term decrease in the heterogeneity of the muscle tissue.ConclusionMRI T2 relaxation time constitutes a useful quantitative marker for microstructural muscle damage, enabling region‐specific identification for short‐term and long‐term systemic processes, and sensitive assessment of muscle recovery following exercise‐induced muscle damage. The variability in T2 changes across different muscle groups can be attributed to their different role during downhill running, with immediate T2 elevation occurring in primary movers, followed by delayed elevation in both primary and antagonist muscle groups, presumably due to secondary damage caused by systemic processes.
