How to deal with calf pain after exercise?

When the human body is doing strenuous exercise, the skeletal muscles may urgently need a large amount of energy. Although the respiratory movement and the wedge ring are greatly strengthened at this time, they still cannot meet the muscle tissue's need for oxygen. This will cause the muscles to become hypoxic when they exit the station. This will cause sugars to decompose into acid, and the energy released will become less, causing lactic acid to accumulate in the muscles. So how should you solve calf pain after exercise?

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. From a central perspective, stretching the muscles can change the excitability of the corresponding centers, and through the action of the negative stretch reflex it can block the spasms caused by excessive excitation of the muscle spindles, and improve the local tissue ischemia caused by spasms, thereby improving muscle blood flow and promoting the recovery of damaged tissues.

It can also be seen from the electromyogram that stretching the sore muscles can gradually reduce their discharge and render them electrically quiet, indicating that static stretching can improve the excitability of sore muscles. Repeatedly stretching the muscles immediately after exercise until the muscles become sore is more effective in relieving muscle soreness.

How to prevent it?

1. Relax after exercise. After exercise, you can lie on a sponge pad or rattan mat to rest for a while. When lying flat, your feet should be placed slightly higher than your head, or at the same height as your head. Never lie on the steamy ground. After resting for a while, you can do headstand or wall handstand for 3-10 seconds. You can do it several times. This is good for blood flow back to the heart from the lower limbs. Then shake your limbs, first shaking and patting your thighs or upper arms, and then shaking your calves or forearms.

The above article is some information compiled by the editor about how to reduce muscle soreness in the calves after exercise. The editor reminds you that you should do some warm-up exercises during your normal exercise, which can effectively prevent your muscle soreness. And after exercise, you must pay more attention to relaxation and never rest immediately or drink a lot of water.
