What should I do if I feel sore all over during exercise?

Now more and more of us love sports, because we all know that the body is the first priority, and the way to ensure good health is exercise. Although we now attach importance to exercise, many people do not understand the details of more exercise, such as some problems that arise after exercise. The problem I often encounter is muscle soreness. How do you solve the muscle soreness and body temperature after exercise? I think most people may not know what to do, so now let me answer this question for you.

Good health is a prerequisite for our happy life, and exercise is an important way to stay healthy. Therefore, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to exercise. However, the muscle soreness after exercise makes many people eventually give up exercise. How to alleviate this symptom?

Various forms of human body movement are mainly completed by muscle contraction. Muscle contraction requires energy, which is mainly provided by the decomposition of carbohydrates in muscle tissue.

In the presence of sufficient oxygen, such as when the human body is at rest, the carbohydrates in the muscles are directly broken down into carbon dioxide and water, releasing a large amount of energy.

However, when the human body is engaged in strenuous activities, skeletal muscles urgently need a large amount of energy. Although respiratory movement and blood circulation are greatly enhanced at this time, they still cannot meet the muscle tissue's demand for oxygen, causing the muscles to be in a state of temporary hypoxia. As a result, sugars break down into lactic acid, releasing relatively little energy.

When lactic acid accumulates in the muscles, it stimulates the nerve endings in the muscles and produces a feeling of soreness. The accumulation of lactic acid increases the osmotic pressure in the muscles, causing the muscle tissue to absorb more water and produce local swelling. For people who exercise regularly, their muscles can get more sufficient oxygen during exercise, and less lactic acid is produced by the breakdown of sugars, so there will be no obvious pain in the muscles. Most methods of relieving muscle soreness include stretching and lengthening the muscles. This may be because when the muscles are stretched, the Golgi tendon organs of the muscles are stimulated, causing them to inhibit impulses.

If we only know how to exercise but don’t know how to solve some problems encountered during exercise, then we cannot become real athletes. Therefore, we still have room for improvement. I hope everyone can further understand the knowledge about exercise.
