Brief Summary

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

Basal measurements are taken in relation to the study variables. Immediately subjects perform eccentric exercise on right hamstrings to develop delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

Measurements of the study variables are taken in the same conditions 48, 96 and 168 hours after the exercise to study the evolution of the variables while recovering from DOMS.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Basal measurements are taken in relation to the study variables.

The variables are:

* pressure pain thresholds
* electromyography values
* static and dynamic plantar pressure measurement
* active knee extensibility
* maximal strength of knee flexors
* thermography
* scales of pain perception

Immediately subjects perform eccentric exercise on right hamstrings to develop DOMS (delay onset muscle soreness).

Measurements of the study variables are taken in the same conditions 48, 96 and 168 hours after the exercise to study the evolution of the variables while recovering from DOMS.
