Randomized Controlled Trial
Preventive effects of 10-day supplementation with saffron and indomethacin on the delayed-onset muscle soreness.
Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) often occurs after unaccustomed eccentric exercise and reduces exercise performance. We aimed to study the preventive effects of saffron and indomethacin on the biochemical and functional indicators of DOMS after 1-session eccentric exercise. ⋯ The saffron can be used to prevent DOMS and alleviate the DOMS symptoms.
