Muscle soreness
Process
Warm-Ups
A warm-up helps increase blood flow to the functioning muscle which ends in reduced muscle stiffness, reduced risk of injury and often, improved performance. Supplementary benefits of warming up involve physical and mental preparation for more intense exercise.
Cool Downs
A cool-down provides the body with a comfortable switch from exercise back to a stable state of rest. The main goal and benefits of a cool-down is to return muscles to their prime length-tension relationships
Stretching
Dynamic stretching is the moving of a joint through its range of movement within a controlled momentum
Ballistic Stretching is the use of momentum of a moving body or limb in an attempt to force it beyond its normal range of motion.
Stastic Stretching is stretching the muscles to the fartherst point possible and holding for certain time whilst the body is in rest.
Causes
Lactic acid is a normal byproduct of muscle metabolism, but it can irritate muscles and cause discomfort and soreness.
Muscle soreness associated with exercise is known as delayed onset muscle soreness or DOMS. This occurs when muscle pain or stiffness progresses a day or two after exercise. This is caused by microscopic tears that damage the muscle.
Effects
Effects athletes who receive these muscle soreness, causing pain to every day activities such as walking and climbing up stairs.
Management
Duration
The duration of physical activity an athlete partakes in, can lead to the extense of muscle soreness one might receive after physical activity.
Intensity
When muscles are required to work harder than they are normally used to or in a different requirements,it's believed to cause microscopic damage to the muscle fibres, resulting in muscle soreness
