- Abstract
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is an uncomfortable sensation or pain in the muscles after 12-24 hours of high-intensity physical activity, mainly dominated by eccentric and isometric muscle contractions. DOMS will physiologically disappear by itself. If the inflammatory process does not go well, it can result in ongoing injuries that affect body movement and function, so it is necessary to provide interventions to overcome DOMS. Based on studies, ice packs are an effective form of cold therapy to treat DOMS. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a cold compress with a duration of 15 minutes on reducing DOMS pain in the gastrocnemius muscle. This research is an experimental study with a one group design with control pre and post-test design. The results of the repeated measures anova test showed a significant reduction in DOMS pain at 24 hours and 48 hours after the treatment in the experimental group (p-value=0,000). It also happened in the control group (p-value=0,000). The differences effect of pre and post-test I in the experimental group showed a mean value of 11,667, while the control group showed a mean value of -10,333. The results of the one-way anova test showed that there were differences between the experimental group and the control group in post-test I (p-value=0.000) and no differences between groups in post-test II (p-value=0.438). The conclusion of this study is that a cold compress with a duration of 15 minutes has a significant effect on reducing DOMS pain.
