A multitude of methods have been investigated to control DOMS. One of the valuable method to control DOMS is repeated bout effect as a prophylactic method. Purpose: To compare the repeated bout effect of maximal isometric with submaximal eccentric contraction on induced DOMS. Methods: Sixty normal male volunteers were assigned randomly into three equal groups: Group A (first study group): 20 subjects received submaximal eccentric contraction on non-dominant elbow flexors as a prophylactic exercise. Group B (second study group):20 subjects received maximal isometric contraction on non-dominant elbow flexors as a prophylactic exercise. Group C (control group):20 subjects did not receive any prophylactic exercises UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
