The link between “Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness” (DOMS) and force components and loading rate during landing is not well understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of “Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness” on ground reaction forces and loading rate during landing in Healthy non-athlete subjects.

This research was a semi-experimental (DOMS-induced exercises by Harvard step test) with a pretest and post-test design. The present study’s statistical population of the consisted of non-athlete students were volunteered to participate in this study. A total of 15 healthy male non-athlete students were selected following a simple random sampling by Lottery procedure. In this study, the demographic questionnaire and “General Health Questionnaire” were used to assess the general health conditions and enter the subjects into the study. The weight and height of the subjects were measured using the tools and devices of the Sika 206 dynamometer and gauge screen, respectively. The validity and reliability of these instruments have been confirmed in previous studies. To control the landing height, Vicon motion analysis system including 4 high-speed infrared cameras was used. The Ground Reaction Force(GRFs) during cross-landing was measured using a force plate and then the kinetic indices including the peak and depth of the Ground Reaction Force and the time of reaching the peak and bottom and the loading rate were extracted by Vicon Nexus software. Data were analyzed using SPSS. 23.

“Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness” has no effect on the Ground Reaction Force when heel contact (P <0.05). “Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness” reduces the maximum vertical reaction force (FZ1) in toe contact with the ground (P = 0.038) and the minimum vertical reaction force (FZ2) in toe contact with the ground (P = 0.006) after It was 48 hours. People with “Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness” have a faster time to reach the 1.2 FZ characteristic (P = 0.001 and P = 0.010). 

“Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness” reduces the vertical force of the reaction when the toe comes in contact with the ground when landing, as well as the faster arrival time of the reaction forces when in contact with the toe. Therefore, it is suggested that therapists, physiotherapists and other groups be trained about the treatment and prevention strategies of these risk factors in activity and rehabilitation with feedback from the changes of these biomechanical parameters.

But in the post-test and follow-up stage it was significant (P-value <0.05). In the groups of "Schema Therapy" and “Imago Relationship Therapy”, the difference between the mean scores of marital boredom in the stages of pre-test with post-test, pre-test with follow-up and post-test with follow-up was significant (P-value <0.05). But in the control group, the difference between the mean scores of marital boredom was not significant in any of the 2 to 2 stages (P-value <0.05).

"Schema Therapy" and “Imago Relationship Therapy” were significant on the marital boredom of couples in Qom. Therefore, it is suggested that psychologists and counselors use both treatments to reduce marital problems and especially marital boredom.

Quality of life is a set of physical, mental and social well-being that is perceived by an individual or a group of individuals.

Academic procrastination and failure are among the significant problems among students and solving these problems through psychological interventions will be fruitful. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of "Metacognitive Therapy" and "Emotion-Oriented Therapy" on academic procrastination and frustration discomfort of male high school students.

The research method of the current study was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test and 1-month follow-up design and a control group. The statistical population included all male secondary school students of the first period of Afshar region of Khodabande city in the academic year of 2018-2019. The research sample was based on a random method. The research method of the present study was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test and 1-month follow-up design and a control group. The statistical population included all male secondary school students of the first period of Afshar region of Khodabande city in the academic year of 2018-2019. The research sample was randomly selected from among 5 regions of Khodabande city by lottery method, Afshar region. Among the students who scored higher than 54 (in the range of 135 to 27) in the “Procrastination Assessment Scale-Student” and scored higher than 58 (in the range of 175 to 35) in the “Frustration Discomfort Scale”, 45 students were randomly replaced in 3 groups of 15 students, 2 groups of intervention and control. Data collection instruments included demographic questionnaire, "Procrastination Assessment Scale-Student" and "Frustration Discomfort Scale". Content validity was checked by qualitative method and reliability by internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Intervention group 1 participated in "Metacognitive Therapy" group training sessions in 8 90-minute sessions and intervention group 2 participated in "Emotional Therapy" sessions in 8 90-minute sessions once a week. For the people of the control group, after the end of the sessions and taking the test, follow-up training sessions were held. At the end of the sessions, a post-test and a follow-up 1 month later were conducted for all 3 groups. The data was analyzed in SPSS. 20.

"Metacognitive Therapy" and "Emotion-Oriented Therapy” were able to improve the frustration discomfort score and the academic procrastination score compared to the control group (P≤0.001).
