Who does not feel the pain in muscles after intense exercise? The pain is especially strong if before this man of high physical exertion had. And the more a person tries, the more pain. But it is known that exercise Myths about exercise: do not believe   should be regularly and any load to increase gradually.

Why sore muscles after exercise

The mechanism of pain can be different. Immediately after exercise muscle pain and fatigue - is the result of accumulation in muscle large amount of lactic acid. It is formed as a result of glycolysis - the collapse of glucose Glucose: The energy source   to form energy (ATP) and lactic acid. This process occurs during muscular work, in which the muscles require energy.

If the exercise was not too strong, the lactic acid Lactic acid - shows our health   time to time derived from the muscles through the bloodstream. But if the load was high, and the energy required for physical work a lot, and lactic acid is also formed much and it irritates nerve endings, causing pain. A large number of lactic acid hinders the work of muscles, conduction of nerve impulses and energy.

As a result, after exercise a person gets tired. But after some time, fatigue and muscle aches are as lactic acid enters the bloodstream to the liver where it as a result of biochemical reactions (gluconeogenesis) newly formed glucose - the energy source. Under constant physical training to the muscles increases blood flow, which promotes the growth of individual muscle fibers and muscle as a whole.

But there is another kind of muscle pain after exercise, referred to as lagging. Delayed pain occur the next day and some time may increase. The cause of this pain is that during intense loads on the muscles occur mikrotravmy muscle fibers. After mikrotravmy often begins small inflammation in the muscle fibers, due to which in the first few days the pain increases. If the person continues to train, but at the same time reduces the load, the pain gradually disappear. After this exercise, you can gradually build up.

Finally, a very severe pain may appear to break the muscles during exercise. This pain can not be confused with simple muscle aches - it is so strong, that does not move. In place of the gap appear swelling and bruising, completely lost muscle function (for example, when it is impossible to break the shoulder muscles to bend the arm). At full muscle rupture occurs on the surface of the body recess. Incomplete rupture of the muscles is observed hematoma and soreness at the site of injury, but the muscle may be partially to preserve their function.

How to prevent the appearance of muscle pain on the background of physical exercise

You need to know the basic principles of training:

• regular training; Only regular exercise will ensure proper development of the muscles and the absence of microtrauma to the muscle fibers; moreover, since under the influence of regular exercise the body gets used to promptly remove from excess muscle lactic acid after exercise does not occur fatigue and muscle pain;
• growing burden - the body has to get used to the load gradually, only then he will deal with excretion of metabolic products Metabolism: The basis of life of all living things And muscle fibers will not be subject to rupture; pain after training - this is wrong; if the train as it should be, the result of each session will be courage, good humor and a complete absence of pain;
• warming up the muscles before the actual load by means of special exercises, causing a rush of blood to the muscles; the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the blood to reduce the intensity of glycolysis, and hence the amount of lactic acid; good blood supply to the muscles will reduce their trauma.

How to remove the pain in muscles after exercise

If muscle pain is not too strong (that is, not associated with the rupture of the muscle), you should continue to moderate exercise only lowering their intensity and duration. This contributes to the revitalization of the whole body, including metabolism and blood circulation. So, lactic acid more rapidly eliminated from the body, muscle fibers are less injured.

For removal of lactic acid immediately after exercise you need to drink plenty of fluids. Not bad helps bring lactic acid massage and a warm shower. And she and the other procedure helps relieve spasms of muscles, which in turn leads to dilation of blood vessels, which were previously pinched muscles. An intensive circulation and increased volume of fluid in blood vessels promote rapid transfer of lactic acid in the liver.

Well, if you still ruptured muscles, the affected limb should be to establish peace (splint or bandage any extended object, capable to fix two joints), to give the limb elevated position and attach to the place of injury cold. After that, the victim must be delivered to the emergency room.
