Purpose
Delayed onset muscular soreness peaks in 24-48 hours after unaccustomed strenuous physical exercise. Therapists often provide manual massage with the hands to acutely relief the soreness. Alternatives to manual hand massage can be useful for therapists. Here the investigators examine the acute effect of a "massage roller" on DOMS in the hamstring muscles

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Perceived soreness on a scale of 0-10 [ Time Frame: change from before to after massage (average of 0, 10, 30 and 60 min after) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]0: no soreness 10: worst imaginable soreness
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Pressure pain threshold (PPT) of the hamstring muscles [ Time Frame: change from before to after massage (average of 0, 10, 30 and 60 min after) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Hamstring range of motion [ Time Frame: change from before to after massage (average of 0, 10, 30 and 60 min after) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
No Intervention: Control group
Control group, does not receive any intervention
|
|
|
Experimental: Massage group
Massage will be performed on the left or right hamstring muscle (randomized) for ten minutes with a massage roller. The contralateral leg will not be massaged, but serve as a non-massaged control leg to assess possible cross-over effects from the massaged leg
|
Other: Massage
The hamstring muscle will be massaged with a "massage roller" for ten minutes.
