Eccentric exercise of elbow in order to induce Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness
There will be two groups, an experimental group with hypermobile individuals, and a control group with individuals that are not hypermobile with normal ranges of motion. All participants will take part in an exercise session with eccentric bicep curls based on their 1 repetition maximum (1RM).Both groups will perform 1 set of standing eccentric bicep curls based on their 1RM to failure in order to induce DOMS.The exercise will stop when the participant cannot volitionally keep up with the 5 second count lowering the weight. Prior to exercise, baseline measurements will be taken for all dependent variables. These measures will be taken every day at the same time of day,for the next 4 days.
Eccentric Exercise for subjects with JHS
There will be two groups, an experimental group with hypermobile individuals, and a control group with individuals that are not hypermobile with normal ranges of motion. All participants will take part in an exercise session with eccentric bicep curls based on their 1 repetition maximum (1-RM), which is the highest amount of weight that they can lift concentrically once. The independent variables are the two groups and the dependent variables are girth, resting arm angle, Pain, McGill Pain Questionnaire, and pressure pain threshold. This groups will perform 1 set of standing eccentric bicep curls order to induce DOMS.Each rep will include a timed 5 second long eccentric component without an concentric component,. The exercise will stop when the participant cannot volitionally keep up with the 5 second count. Prior to exercise, baseline measurements will be taken for all dependent variables. These measures will be taken every day at the same time of day,for the next 4 days.
Eccentric Exercise for Controls
There will be two groups, an experimental group with hypermobile individuals, and a control group with individuals that are not hypermobile with normal ranges of motion. All participants will take part in an exercise session with eccentric bicep curls based on their 1 repetition maximum (1-RM), which is the highest amount of weight that they can lift concentrically once. The independent variables are the two groups and the dependent variables are girth, resting arm angle, Pain, McGill Pain Questionnaire, and pressure pain threshold. This groups will perform 1 set of standing eccentric bicep curls order to induce DOMS.Each rep will include a timed 5 second long eccentric component without an concentric component,. The exercise will stop when the participant cannot volitionally keep up with the 5 second count. Prior to exercise, baseline measurements will be taken for all dependent variables.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Good overall health
3. Regularly participate in recreational exercise
4. 10 subjects with normal ranges of motion (score of \<4 on Beighton Scale), 10 subjects with increased ranges of motion (score of \>4 on Beighton Scale AND hypermobile in the elbow)
Exclusion Criteria
2. Any major musculoskeletal injuries in the last 6 months.
3. Any recent traumas that could lead to acute hypermobility or instabilities
4. Any known disorders that impede recovery/healing time (i.e. Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Scleroderma).
5. Any other health issues that would risk the safety of the subject.
