An interventional study of Static Stretching and Intermittent Occlusion in Muscle Soreness, sponsored by Riphah International University. Completed at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 25 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-02-17.
Sponsored by Riphah International University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
To determine changes in Vitals caused by Intermittent Occlusion ( 220 mg ) and to compare the effectiveness of Intermittent Occlusion and Static Stretching of the lower limb muscle group in preventing the development of exercise induce Muscle Soreness
Main purpose of this study is to determine changes in Vitals caused by Intermittent Occlusion ( 220 mg ) and to compare the effectiveness of Intermittent Occlusion and Static Stretching of the lower limb muscle group in preventing the development of exercise induce Muscle Soreness. As muscle soreness is very major and basis problem of every individual , specially after enrolling into some physical activity .
First consent form will be given to both male and female participants from 18 to 25 years of age and after that PAR-Q Questionnaire will be filled for every individual, so that we will check their readiness for the Exercise then all the four Vitals will measured from every individual .They will randomly assigned by lottery method to intervention group and control group. Both group individuals will be exerted by Warm up for 5 mints, heel raise in 3 sets for 10 to 15 mints until we get 4 on RPE scale, by asking to hold dumbbells of 2 kg on both of the hands. Rate of perceived exertion (RPE) is calculated by Borg grading scale .Plus, leg circumference, ROM of planter and dorsal flexion and numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) will be measured for comparison within and between the groups. Again vitals will be monitored.
282 studies on the registry are indexed under Myalgia; 43 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 20 is below the median of 44 across 241 interventional studies indexed under Myalgia.

Exclusion Criteria:
Static stretching to lower limb muscles
Other: Static Stretching
Intermittent occlusion to lower limb
Other: Intermittent Occlusion
In Control group all the individuals will be asked to perform static stretching for 10 mints, 1 set . Vitals will be monitored from every individual. On 3rd day to this protocol leg circumference, ROM of planter and dorsal flexion and numeric pain rating scale (NPRS ) will be measured alone with all the Vitals from every individual.
Individuals of Interventional group will be asked to lay down in supine position, apply proximal thigh cuff, 220mg for 12 minutes for intermittent occlusion. During this procedure discomfort will be checked on numeric pain rating scale, if we get 6 on scale, will stop the occlusion. Vitals will be monitored from every individual. On 3rd day to this protocol leg circumference, ROM of planter and dorsal flexion and numeric pain rating scale (NPRS ) will be measured alone with all the Vitals from every individual
Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS)
The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). It has been shown that a composite scoring system including best, worse, and current level of pain. 27 Recent studies showed that the Majority of patients of all ages and both genders prefer NRS 28. Patients feel this scale of pain measuring technique quite easy and understandable. The benefit of the NRS is that it is validated as well as quick and easy to use.

Goniometer
A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint. This can be an indicator of stress which is unavoidable. Many studies showed that The universal goniometer are reliable in repeated measures of joint angles 30 .Manual goniometers can be used with confidence for longitudinal assessments in the clinic
Time frame: 4th day
Measuring Tape
Tape measurement has been used for decades round measurement or the contour of the Muscle to detect atrophy or hypertrophy of Joint to determine swelling. Research shows that measuring tape is valid and reliable tool for circumference measurements .Circumference measurements taken by spring tape have high reliability
Time frame: 4th day
Borg Rate of Perceived Exertion
Research suggest that the Borg CR-10 scale is valid and reliable for monitoring exercise intensity
Time frame: 4th day
PAR-Q Questionnaire
Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PARQ) clearance has been recommended prior to low-to-moderate exercise involvement. Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PARQ) is safe and effective means of risk stratification for patients interested in becoming more physically active. These results support the concurrent validity of the PARQ and suggest the revisions have had their intended effect
Time frame: 4th day
Temperature
A valid Tool for temperature measurement which has been in use from centuries is Mercury Thermometer.
Time frame: 4th day
Pulse rate
The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute which can be felt by the beats by firmly pressing on the arteries, which are located close to the surface of the skin at certain points of the body. In this study we will be using Radial Artery.
Time frame: 4th day
Respiratory Rate
The respiration rate is the number of breaths a person takes per minute , when a person is at rest counting the number of breaths for one minute by counting how many times the chest rises.
Time frame: 4th day
Blood pressure
The aneroid monitor is valid and cost effective tool which for measuring blood pressure
Time frame: 4th day
