TI  - Post-exercise muscle soreness after eccentric exercise: psychophysical effects 
      and implications on mean arterial pressure.
PG  - 266-73
AB  - The aim of the study was to examine the time course of changes in pressure pain 
      threshold (PPT), visual analogue scale (VAS) pain and tenderness scores, McGill 
      Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) descriptors, pain areas, skin temperature and mean 
      arterial pressure (MAP) following intensive eccentric exercise. In 11 healthy 
      male subjects, eccentric exercise of the first dorsal interosseous muscle (FDI) 
      of the right hand with 114% maximum voluntary contraction weight (MVC) was used 
      to induce post-exercise muscle soreness (PEMS) in the right hand, while the left 
      hand served as a control. At 24 h to 48 h all the pain profiles indicated the 
      presence of PEMS in the right hand when compared to before exercise (P<0.05). MPQ 
      and pain area assessments also indicated PEMS immediately after the exercise, 
      while the pain assessment by PPT and tenderness VAS showed insignificant pain 
      immediately after the exercise. Skin temperature measured in the first web space 
      of the hand did not change at any time. MAP was significantly reduced at 48 h. It 
      is concluded that eccentric exercise of a small hand muscle is followed by PEMS 
      and a reduced MAP after 48 h that may suggest a role of central mechanisms in the 
      PEMS, thereby giving further insight into clinical aspects of muscle pain.
