Resistance exercise (ER) performed at high intensity results in the delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and diminishes functionality. Different forms of recovery after exercise have been studied to alleviate discomfort and improve functionality. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of passive (PR) and active (AR) recovery on DOMS and the functionality of physically active volunteers after RE session. The sample consisted of 15 volunteers, with a mean age of 24.2 (± 2.2) and BMI of 24.7 (± 2.5) kg/m2, submitted to ER protocol and the forms of recoveries. The RE sessions (squats, extension chair and leg press) consisted of 4 sets of 10 repetitions with 80% of the maximum load (1 week interval between evaluation and sessions). The DOMS was evaluated (Visual Analog Scale) 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after RE session. Functionality (muscle strength assessed by isometric peak torque, flexibility, power, agility, speed and fatigue strength) was assessed 30 min after the interventions (AR or PR). The AR was more efficient in reducing the DOMS in relation to the PR in the three evaluated moments (24 h: -1.3, 48 h: -1.3 and 72 h: -1.5 points; p < 0.005). AR improved approximately 9% of lower limb muscle strength compared to PR. The other functional variables showed no differences between recoveries. RA decreases DOMS and attenuates muscle strength loss after RE in physically active volunteers.Downloads
