What Causes Muscle Soreness after Exercise
If you ever weight train or do
lots of
aerobic exercise, then you know the feeling of the burn. And you no doubt
know the feeling of tender muscles for hours, and sometimes days after
working out.
But, is that tenderness good or is it bad? Should your muscles ache after
exercise? When you exercise, you won’t likely “feel the burn” of muscle soreness right
away. It can take several hours for that to happen. In fact, you usually
don’t feel any soreness until you’ve rested your body, typically after a
full night’s sleep. This next-day soreness is caused by damage to the
muscle fibers during exertion. The recovery time is needed for healing and
redevelopment of the muscle, which leads to toning and strengthening of the
muscle. When you feel that soreness, take breaks of a day
or more between workouts, and don’t work the sore muscles again until the
soreness has gone, in order to prevent injuring the muscle. However, if the
soreness you feel is more than just some slight tenderness, or you can’t
move the muscle properly, you should not continue exercising, and see a
doctor.
