What to do if you have muscle pain after exercise?

Now our life and work are increasingly entering a high-efficiency stage, so everyone is often in a busy state and seldom has time to do what they want to do. When we occasionally have time, we remember that my body has not been exercised for a long time, so everyone’s general reaction is to do some exercise to exercise their body as soon as possible. The frequent consequence of this situation is muscle soreness afterwards. The following editor will introduce to you some methods to relieve muscle soreness after exercise. Strength training will inevitably cause micro-damage to the muscles, and this micro-damage is also a necessary condition for rapid muscle growth. However, if the micro-injury to the muscles cannot be repaired quickly, the injury will be further aggravated during the training on the second day, affecting the normal training process, and in severe cases even leading to muscle strain. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the rapid repair of muscle micro-damage after strength training.

1. Muscle stretching exercises can relieve soreness. Stretching muscles can accelerate muscle relaxation and relieve antagonist muscles, which helps the recovery of tense muscles. 2. Massage. Muscle massage can effectively relax skeletal muscles and relieve muscle soreness.

3. Hot compress. Applying hot compresses to sore muscles or soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed can promote blood circulation, increase metabolism, and accelerate the relief and recovery of muscle soreness.

4. Nutrition. Promptly consuming a sufficient mixture of protein and carbohydrates after exercise can significantly improve muscle micro-damage and delayed soreness caused by strength training and increase muscle strength. In order to achieve a more ideal muscle recovery effect, it is recommended to supplement sufficient sugar and peptides within half an hour after exercise. Muscle soreness is a normal physiological reaction after intense exercise. There is no need to be too nervous. As long as you do recovery exercises after exercise and get some proper rest, you will recover quickly. If you don't exercise regularly, it's best to do some warm-up exercises before exercise.
