What is the reason why the muscles hurt a little after exercise

If you don't exercise for a long time, you will suddenly exercise vigorously or overloaded, and this condition will occur when the muscles are tired and secrete lactic acid, so you will feel soreness, which will generally disappear in 2-3 days.

Exercise is the only way to get the perfect body. But there are many people who have varying degrees of pain in their muscles after exercising, what causes this?

01 In fact, when people exercise, especially after strenuous exercise, their muscles will accumulate lactic acid, and lactic acid accumulation is because after excessive exercise, the body needs too much energy in a state of anaerobic digestion, resulting in lactic acid accumulation. The build-up of lactic acid is the cause of muscle soreness.

02 In fact, muscle soreness is very common, especially among novices and people who have not exercised much.

03 In the face of muscle soreness, there is no need to worry, because muscle soreness can generally heal on its own within 2 to 3 days, and no treatment is required.

04 If you feel uncomfortable in your muscles, you can also use cold compresses to deal with them, put a towel soaked in cold water on the sore area, and with the cold compress to relieve it, the muscle soreness problem will be solved quickly.

05 Muscle soreness will not affect the next workout, but remember to exercise in moderation and do what you can.

Causes and prevention of exercise-induced muscle soreness.

a) Causes. After a large amount of activity, or after a long interval of not exercising, muscle soreness often occurs after the first exercise starts. This muscle soreness does not occur immediately after the end of exercise, but occurs 1 to 2 days after the end of exercise, so it is called delayed pain.

Delayed muscle soreness after exercise is caused by subtle damage to local muscle fibers and connective tissues caused by high muscle activity during exercise, as well as spasm of some muscle fibers. Because the subtle damage and spasm of the muscle fibers are localized, the motor function can still be performed for the whole muscle, but there is a feeling of soreness. After soreness, the muscle tissue becomes stronger after repairing the local minor damage in the muscle, and the same load will no longer occur in the future (soreness).

b) Processing. 1. Apply hot compress to the sore local muscles to promote blood circulation and metabolic processes, which is helpful for the repair of damaged tissues and the relief of spasms;

2 Perform static stretching exercises on the sore area, hold the stretching state for 2 minutes, then rest for 1 minute, repeat, do this stretching exercise several times a day to help relieve spasticity;

3. Massage the sore area to relax the muscles, promote muscle blood circulation, help damage repair and spasm relief;

4. Oral vitamin C has the effect of promoting collagen synthesis in connective tissues, helping to speed up the repair of damaged tissues and relieve soreness.

3) Prevention. 1. Scientifically arrange the exercise load according to different physique and different health conditions.

2. When exercising, try to avoid concentrating on a certain part of the body for a long time, so as not to overburden the local muscles;

3. In preparation activities, pay attention to the local muscles that are about to be exercised more fully;

4 In addition to general relaxation exercises, attention should also be paid to stretching and stretching muscles, which can help prevent local muscle fiber spasm.

Stick to it, it will go away after a while. Remember to relax after your workout. The spirit of sportsmanship lies in perseverance, so that it can be effective.
