Inclusion Criteria

sedentary (i.e. participate in regular physical activity no more than once per week for the purpose of improving or maintaining their physical fitness)

Exclusion Criteria

Have undertaken resistance training of the quadriceps muscles during the three months prior to their anticipated participation in this study, have knee, quadricep or other musculo-skeletal or medical problem which might interfere with their ability to perform the required exercise to induce muscle soreness or have experienced significant delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in their quadriceps muscles during the three months prior to their anticipated participation in this study.

Study & Design

• Study Type: Interventional
• Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Recovery of muscle force generating capacity. Maximal isometric knee extensor strength will then be assessed as the best of 3 maximal contractions with the knee flexed to an angle of 90 degrees on an isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex System 4, Chattanooga Group, USA).[There will be 6 timepoints. Baseline assessments will be conducted before muscle soreness induction and then further assessments will be conducted immediately after the muscle soreness induction, and again at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and 7 days post muscle soreness induction.]
