Muscle soreness that starts to occur after working out is known as delayed-onset muscle soreness, or DOMS. It usually begins one or two days after an exercise.
– DOMS won’t strike when you’re working out. There are numerous types of muscular soreness, such as pain experienced during or right after an exercise. We refer to it as acute muscle discomfort.
Why does DOMS occur?
– Your muscle fiber may sustain microscopic tears as a result of high-intensity exercise. Your body reacts to this damage by producing more inflammation, which could cause your muscles to get sore more gradually.
Do lactic acid and DOMS have a relationship?
The widespread belief that DOMS was caused by an accumulation of lactic acid produced by exercise has been disproved.
Who is susceptible to DOMS?
DOMS can afflict almost anybody, including novices, long-time gym goers, and professional athletes.
Consequences for Physical Therapy
– After exercise, having DOMS is typically a good indicator. It signifies that the muscle is recovering and becoming stronger than it was prior to the exercise, proving that the training was successful.
