Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) assessments often involve subjective measures like pain scales. Objective biomarkers, such as creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase levels, can provide a more quantifiable evaluation of muscle damage. Analyzing these physiological indicators after eccentric exercise offers a deeper understanding of the processes involved in DOMS.
Understanding the physiological basis of muscle damage following intense exercise is crucial for developing effective training regimens and recovery strategies. Objective measurements offer valuable insight into the extent of muscle damage and can help tailor interventions for optimal performance and injury prevention. Research in this area has progressed significantly, moving from primarily subjective evaluations to more precise and objective biomarkers. This allows for a better understanding of individual responses to exercise and personalized approaches to training and recovery.
