Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is typical ultrastructural muscle damage, which usually occurs after unaccustomed or high-intensity eccentric muscle contraction [Although DOMS is considered to be a mild injury, it is one of the most common causes of impaired exercise performance, and it has a high incidence [Kinesio tape (KT) is an ultra-thin breathable tape with excellent elasticity, which is used to treat sports injuries and many other diseases. It was first invented by Dr. Kenso Kase of Japan in 1973. Its name comes from kinesiology, which takes the prefix of the English word as the name “Kinesio tape”. At present, it is widely used in the fields of skeletal muscle limitation and sports injury [With the rapid development of science and technology and the increasingly mature sports training level, high-tech sports equipment plays an important role in the field of leisure and public fitness as well as intense competition. In recent years, compression equipment (Pressure suits, pressure socks, tights, compression sleeves, etc.) with its unique technology, wide application, and its unique effect, has gradually been favored by domestic and foreign athletes and fitness [From the literature review, we found that KT and CS have similar mechanisms of action, which have great significance in reducing DOMS and avoiding further damage. However, there is not a simple and effective method to prevent or eliminate DOMS at present. Although the above two methods can alleviate DOMS to a certain extent, there is no literature to report the differences between the two methods and how it is better to use the two methods at the same time. Combined with the occurrence characteristics of DOMS, this study designed an innovative experiment and analyzed the treatment effect based on quantitative data, to explore which of KT and CS after DOMS can better promote the recovery of muscle soreness, and physical function (Isokinetic muscle strength, Fatigue index).
