5. Study Description

Brief Summary

Objective of this study is to compare the effects of foam roller with KT tape on DOMS. The university going students will be divided in two groups, with one group receiving Kinesio Tape as intervention and other Foam Rolling as intervention. Pain and range of motion will be assessed before and after the intervention and the effects of both interventions will be compared.

Detailed Description

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is a common phenomenon experienced after unaccustomed or intense physical activity, characterized by muscle discomfort, pain, and reduced range of motion. Various interventions have been conducted to alleviate DOMS symptoms, including the use of foam rollers and Kinesiology Tape (KT tape). This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the effects of foam roller and KT tape interventions on reducing DOMS and improving muscle recovery. The participants would go for a single session of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to induce DOMS. Group-A participants would receive KT taping afterwards, while Group-B participants would receive foam rolling as intervention. Their effect would be measured using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Tenderness Grading Scale, Knee Range of Motion (ROM) and Vertical Jump Height. This study delves into the applications and potential benefits of KT tape and foam roller in managing DOMS, shedding light on their effectiveness and how they can contribute to enhancing post-exercise recuperation and overall well-being.
