Primary

Measure	Time frame
Pain intensity. Timepoint: Recorded at baseline, after one hour and from day 1 to 7 after the induction of muscle soreness. Method of measurement: Pain intensity was assessed by Visual analog scale.;Muscle Soreness Score. Timepoint: Recorded at baseline, after one hour and from day 1 to 7 after the induction of muscle soreness. Method of measurement: Muscle soreness was assessed by Visual analog scale.;Pain pressure Threshold. Timepoint: Recorded at baseline, after one hour and from day 1 to 7 after the induction of muscle soreness. Method of measurement: Pain Pressure threshold was measured by algometer (Baseline, Fabrication Enterprises, USA).;Passive Range of motion at wrist joint. Timepoint: Recorded at baseline, after one hour and from day 1 to 7 after the induction of muscle soreness. Method of measurement: It was measured by a universal goniometer (ISOM Plastic, Isokinetics incorporation, USA).;Grip strength. Timepoint: Recorded at baseline, after one hour and from day 1 to 7 after the induction of muscle soreness. Method of measurement: Recorded by a hand-held dynamometer (Baseline, Fabrication Enterprises, USA).	—
