Most weight
trainers do not know the reason their muscles get sore
after a workout. Muscle soreness is not caused by lactic
acid, as many people believe.
- It is caused by microtrauma
to the muscle fibers.
- This causes calcium
molecule leakage from the muscle fibers (as well
as an accumulation of histamines, potassium, prostaglandins
and local edema).
- The sensation of
pain and soreness comes due to the pressure of localized
edema (fluid retention) on nerve endings, not by
the muscle damage itself.
- Negative-accentuated
training often results in severe muscle soreness
as it causes the most muscle damage.
- Muscle soreness can
be an indication of growth.
- Light training of
the same exercise can help decrease it.
- It is possible to
train when the muscle is sore.
"I
have to say I was greatly impressed with your book
and I enjoyed
the variations of the different exercises. I coach professional
Rugby
players and from a point of using these exercises for
stability
as well as functional purposes, I found them good
as did the players." - S. Mitchell
