What action to take Therefore to avoid delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), try the following: (a) Perform a general warm up (5 mins, cycling, jogging etc). (b) Perform specific dynamic mobility exercises for 15-20 minutes. (c) When starting an exercise programme, avoid movements that entail strenuous eccentric muscle action (downhill running, plyometrics, etc). (d) Gradually increase the intensity and duration of exercise. (e) Complete additional bouts of the exercise that originally caused delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) - for instance, if DOMS was sustained during downhill running, additional downhill running within one to six weeks will help alleviate the problem).
