Abstract: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of cryotherapy and stretching versus infrared radiation ad stretching in prevention of exercise induced delayed onset muscle soreness. The study involved 30 healthy female individuals divided into three groups: Group A cryotherapy with stretching, Group B IIR with stretching, and Group C Control group. The results showed that both treatments were effective, but thermotherapy and stretching showed a better increment in preventing exercise - induced delayed onset muscle soreness.
