degree of muscle tissue damage that transiently results in reduced force production and increased muscle soreness ( Peake et al., 2016 ). In addition, there is evidence that eccentric exercise damages connective tissues ( Brown et al., 1997 ), including the extracellular matrix (ECM) that supports and

Key Points ▸ Foam rolling (FR) has a moderate effect on muscle soreness or pain in individuals experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness at 24, 48, and 72 hr post activity that induces delayed onset muscle soreness. ▸ FR protocols at minimum should include FR of the affected muscle group twice for

Unaccustomed physical activity with high intensity and eccentric contractions may cause muscle damage that may present itself as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). 1 , 2 Indeed, DOMS is accepted as a type I muscle strain. 3 Stiffness, soreness, and tenderness of muscles are symptoms associated

Context:

Land and aquatic plyometrics have clinical relevance for exercise, sport performance, and rehabilitation, yet study is limited comparing both.

Objective:

To compare the effects of land-based and aquatic-based plyometric-training programs on performance variables, muscle soreness, and range of motion (ROM).

Setting:

Aquatic facility and biomechanics laboratory.

Subjects:

Forty subjects randomly assigned to 3 groups: land (n = 13), water (n = 13), and control (n = 14).

Main Outcome Measures:

Performance variables, muscle soreness, and ROM were measured before and after an 8-week training period. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and a Bonferroni post hoc test determined significance.

Results:

ANCOVA revealed significant differences between groups with respect to plantar-flexion ROM (P < .05). Paired t test determined that the aquatic group significantly increased muscle power pretest to posttest (P < .05).

Conclusions:

Results indicate that aquatic plyometric training can be an alternative approach to enhancing performance.

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a well-known phenomenon that occurs after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise, particularly if the exercise involves a lot of eccentric contractions. 1 Many theories have been proposed to explain the mechanism of DOMS, such as lactic acid accumulation, muscle
