APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) also known as ‘muscle fever’. It is a sore, aching, painful feeling in the muscles after unfamiliar and unaccustomed intense exercise. DOMS is thought to be due to temporary muscle damage and inflammation for which the most common trigger appears to be eccentric exercises.

Detailed explanation-2: -Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a common occurrence following bouts of unaccustomed exercise, especially if the exercise involves significant eccentric muscle actions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most characteristic symptoms of DOMS are tenderness and movement-induced pain in the exercised muscle; both are types of mechanical hyperalgesia, and there is usually no pain at rest [4]. DOMS is usually subclinical, because people recover from the soreness without medical treatment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Conclusion: Warm-up performed immediately prior to unaccustomed eccentric exercise produces small reductions in delayed-onset muscle soreness but cool-down performed after exercise does not.
