Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looked at whether isometric exercise (holding a muscle contraction without moving) can help healthy young athletes recover faster from delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Forty active university athletes were given a workout to cause muscle soreness, then half did isometric exercises while the other half rested. Researchers measured pain, swelling, and strength over five days to see if the exercise group recovered better.
