How to relieve muscle fatigue

Whenever we do intense exercise, in addition to sweating profusely, we will inevitably feel tired, such as general weakness and muscle soreness. The main reason for muscle fatigue is that when we exercise, the muscles in various parts of the body are in a very tense state, which causes a feeling of fatigue. So how do you relieve muscle fatigue? Let’s take a look at the following introduction.

Warm water bath: Taking a warm water bath can gently stimulate the cerebral cortex and have a good effect on the peripheral nerves. It can also dilate the muscle capillaries, speed up blood circulation, and quickly discharge lactic acid and other wastes accumulated in the muscles, thereby eliminating fatigue.
