Myths About Muscle Soreness After A Workout

Dear Reader,

When you put in a really tough workout there's nothing to match the feeling of accomplishment you have... except perhaps the aches and pains of your body that next day. This is known as delayed onset muscle soreness, DOMS for short. This is muscle soreness that shows up six to eight hours after your workout, and peaks at 24 to 48 hours , and fading at 72 hours, though the timing and course will vary for each person.

Muscle soreness is more likely when you start a new thing, whether it's an activity, a higher intensity or length, or if you're just getting active after a long sedentary lifestyle. On the inside, your body is adapting to prepare your muscles to do that action again. As you go on, you build up and you won't be as sore when you do the same activity. DOMS does appear to be the result of trauma to your muscle fibers, but this isn't a definitive measure of damage to the muscles.

Although all types of muscle contractions can bring on soreness, what's known as eccentric contraction (muscles lengthens as it contracts) is most often behind DOMS. Other activities like running down a hill, lowering weights or going down into a push up or squat are also likely to cause problems because of the higher load placed on muscles. There is even some suggestion that movement of the upper body brings more soreness than movement of the lower body.

Besides the muscle soreness, other symptoms of DOMS include:

- Reduced range of motion

- Joint stiffness

- Local swelling and tenderness

- Decreased muscle strength

You can help yourself avoid these symptoms by taking things slow with a new workout routine and giving your muscles time to get adjusted and recover themselves. Always do a good warm up and cool down as part of your routine.

Taking things one step further, here are five myths about DOMS, busted.

1. Lactic acid buildup causes DOMS - This "buildup" is a natural result of the metabolic process where your cells become more acidic. This makes your muscles feel as if they are burning. This isn't caused by lactate, the lactate is a byproduct of the process and acts as a buffer to slow the rate at which cells become acidic.

2. You can't have a "good" workout without DOMS - Soreness is poorly correlated to muscle adaption and growth according to research. Your symptoms are not a sign of how much better your workout is, or what great shape you're in. If soreness persists after 3 days, you've done too much.

Myths About Muscle Soreness After A Workout Continued...

3. Your fitness level has an impact on if you'll get DOMS - Delayed onset muscle soreness can happen to anyone. Yes, you'll feel less sore as your body gets used to being active and learns how to distribute the exercise across the muscle fibers. There's also a genetic component to how sore we feel after being active.

4. Muscle damage from DOMS is bad for you - False. It appears that some amount of muscle trauma is needed to stimulate both protein production and the growth of muscle. As a muscle repairs itself, it gets larger and stronger so soreness isn't as likely to happen next time. Here is the grain of truth behind the "no pain, no gain" myth.

5. Stretching before/after workouts is a good way to prevent/treat DOMS - not so according to a review of studies found that pre or post workout stretches didn't cut the effects of DOMS is healthy subjects. If you have DOMS, a sports massage is a great way to ease the pain. You might also try contrast showers (alternate between hot and cold water), Epsom salt baths, foam rolling, upping your protein intake, omega-3 supplementation and lots of good quality sleep.


To your good health,
