Brief Summary

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

Delayed onset muscular soreness peaks in 24-48 hours after unaccustomed strenuous physical exercise. Therapists often provide manual massage with the hands to acutely relief the soreness. Alternatives to manual hand massage can be useful for therapists. Here the investigators examine the acute effect of a "massage roller" on DOMS in the hamstring muscles
