The purpose of this study is to investigate muscle stiffness in relation to delayed on-set muscle soreness following exercise and to investigate how well the change in muscle stiffness correlates with the subjective experienced degree of stiffness.

RECRUITINGMuscle stiffness (change) - Shear wave
Muscle stiffness measured by ultrasound using shear wave elastography
Time frame: Day1,Day 2 and Day7
Muscle stiffness (change) - Self-reported
Self-reported muscle stiffness: Measured on a NRS scale (0-10), where 0 = not stiff at all, 10 is maximal stiffness
Time frame: Day1,Day 2 and Day7
Muscle stiffness (change) - Myotonometry
Muscle stiffness measured by Myotonometry
Time frame: Day1,Day 2 and Day7
Muscle stiffness (change)- Palpation
Muscle palpation: Reported using a 5-point Likert: 1 = very low muscle stiffness and 5 = very high muscle stiffness
Time frame: Day1,Day 2 and Day7
