The impact of various post-exercise interventions on the relief of delayed-onset muscle soreness: a randomized controlled trial
Vibration therapy effectively enhanced muscle responsiveness by reducing Tc. Massage therapy was most effective in reducing IL-6, CK, and Ca<sup>2+</sup> levels, alleviating muscle stiffness and soreness, and facilitating tissue repair. FES significantly increased PPT and muscle strength, mitigating DOMS-related pain and functional decline. Static stretching offered notable benefits in enhancing joint ROM, whereas CMI effectively suppressed early inflammatory responses.
