NCT ID NCT07215338
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study from Stanford University looked at how the immune system responds to exercise and whether it plays a role in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Twenty-two healthy adults did arm exercises and gave blood samples over several days. Researchers measured immune markers and pain levels to better understand what causes muscle soreness after a workout.
