Abstract
A method of reducing delayed onset muscle soreness in humans, such as the pain resulting from unaccustomed exercise, is disclosed. An affected body portion of the human is covered with a radiation-shielding textile, whether by fashioning a garment from the textile or using a sheet or cover, or fashioning a wrap. The radiation-shielding textile found to be suitable is a cloth woven of yarn consisting of a textile fibre, such as nylon, and from two to thirty-five percent by weight of conductive metal filament, preferably stainless steel.
