    Here's how to do it: 1. Rest.

    If you feel some kind of abnormal pain in a part of your body during bodybuilding training, you should stop doing it and should completely relax and rest.

    2. Find out the injury.

    Gently turn the injured area and do gentle movements to determine which muscles, tendons, ligaments are painful or injured, so you know where to focus your movements and which ones to avoid during intense bodybuilding training.

    3. Do not increase the burden on the wound.

    After identifying the injured area, not only should you not do bodybuilding exercises that affect these painful areas, but you must also be careful not to burden the injured area in your daily activities, for example, do not lift heavy objects if you have lower back pain, and avoid running if you have foot pain.

    4. Exercise around the injury.

    Take an "active rest approach". The human body has more than 600 muscles, so even if you hurt 100 muscles, you still have more than 500 muscles to work on, and you should work all the muscles to improve your health and achieve even development, while strengthening the main weight-bearing femur, for example, if you injure or take over the tibial muscles to hinder the whole squat, but you are also allowed to do a half-squat, but you must do it carefully, if you feel uncomfortable during the activity, you should let the entire injured muscle group get rest.

    5. Promote local blood circulation.

    It is necessary to carefully measure the injured area and look for a bodybuilding exercise that can gently move the injured area, and use this action to promote blood circulation, replenish fresh nutrients, and remove waste materials.

    6. Stretch gently.

    Slowly stretch the injured area until it stops at the slightest point of resistance, then try to relax the injured area. When doing this, try to stretch further, when the muscles reach stretch and relaxation, the blood that plays the role will flow more to the place, and you can get it faster, but if you stretch too much, it will lead to the worsening of the trauma and even re-injury.

    7. Massage Gentle massage can directly increase blood flow and can be self-rubbing, but a more effective way to relieve pain is to relax yourself and let a person who knows massage techniques.

    8. Heat Heat can promote blood to the surface of the body by virtue of the natural cooling reaction of the human body, and heat can also slow down the tension of injured muscles, so that blood circulation can be accelerated, and more nutrients can be brought to the muscles.

    9. Ice heat is often used for long-term injury treatment, and can not be used as on-site first aid, just injured that the heating can cause swelling of the wound and cause further damage to the tissue, generally within 48 hours after the injury, ice can reduce the swelling.

    Hello, I am a three-star personal trainer in Pafik, Hubei. First of all, I would like to tell my friends upstairs that muscle soreness and muscle strain are two concepts. The landlord's condition is a muscle strain caused by not warming up before exercising.

    You have a strain on the front of your left thigh because your quadriceps muscles didn't warm up enough during the 100-meter sprint, causing a sudden force on your muscles that caused the strain. After figuring out this problem, I'll help you solve it: In response to your problem, I think you can't participate in any training for the time being, and you can only conduct ** training.

    First of all, you need to stretch the injured area - the quadriceps muscle, find a partner to help you stretch, stretch until the sore area stops for 15 seconds. Then relax with a gentle massage. Every day.

    After a week you will notice that the front of your left thigh is less painful, but the recovery process varies from person to person. But I hope you have a good rest now, and only when you recover can you better devote yourself to training and improve your training level. Good luck with a speedy recovery!

    If you have any other questions, please continue to ask them. Thank you.

    To relieve muscle pain caused by sports contusions and strains, the first step is to apply a cold compress to the painful area every 4 to 6 hours for 20 minutes for the first few days. This relaxes the muscles from excessive tension and thus relieves pain. The tool used to apply the cold compress can be an ice pack or a packet of frozen vegetables.

    It is best to wrap the ice pack with a dry towel or clothing before applying a cold compress to avoid frostbite. After two to three days of cold compress, the tension and pain of the muscles can be greatly relieved, and then the hot compress** should be taken in time to completely eliminate the feeling of soreness in the muscles. Hot compress** is best done 3 times a day for 20 minutes each time.

    There are many ways to apply a hot compress**, you can use a small bottle of hot water, a hot towel directly to the painful area, or you can take a lamp, a bath or a hot bath. Experts also point out that for muscle or joint pain caused by some chronic diseases (such as arthritis), hot compresses are more effective than cold compresses. Ways to avoid muscle soreness:

    Muscle stretching exercises (performed in a static manner). The principle of gradual load: the principle of overload of muscle training makes the muscles easy to be injured, and with the principle of gradual load, the quality and quantity of muscle training can be slowly improved, so as to effectively avoid injuries.

    Appropriate vitamin C supplementation is still needed. Late-onset muscle soreness refers to muscle soreness that occurs a few hours to about 24 hours after exercise, and usually lasts for about one to three days. Late-onset muscle soreness can be caused by muscle injury, muscle spasm, or connective tissue abnormalities, but connective tissue abnormalities are generally considered to be the biggest cause of late-onset muscle soreness.

    The general public's belief that muscle soreness is caused by lactic acid buildup is incorrect. Muscles that are rarely used or trained, sudden, intense or excessively repetitive activities tend to cause delayed onset of muscle soreness, and the best way to prevent it is to do it in a gradual manner so that the muscles can handle the heavy or repeated movements that will be performed. If there is muscle soreness, it should be treated with rest and hyperthermia, and it is not advisable to overdo it, otherwise it is easy to cause more serious injuries.
