Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Many people experience pain, tenderness and soreness of joint and muscles, both in sport and working life. Pain killers can provide acute relief of pain, but may not be a feasible solution for all people. Here the investigators examine the acute effect of massage and exercise on induced muscle tenderness (delayed onset muscular soreness).
