How to recover after exercise?

Sometimes many people are only enthusiastic for a short time and suddenly want to exercise to stretch their muscles, but after exercising they find themselves sore all over, as if they had been beaten. In fact, we still need to insist on exercising in our lives. Don’t be half-hearted. Next, let me introduce to you the relevant content about body pain after exercise, as well as the treatment methods. You can learn from it.

If you haven't exercised for a long time, your muscles will often ache if you suddenly do strenuous exercise. There are two types of muscle soreness: one is soreness that occurs immediately after exercise, but disappears quickly, which is called acute muscle soreness; the other is soreness that does not occur immediately after exercise, but occurs several hours after exercise or even after a night's sleep, and disappears very slowly, taking two or three days to disappear. This type of soreness is called delayed onset muscle soreness. The reasons for their occurrence are not exactly the same.

Acute muscle soreness is often caused by strenuous exercise and insufficient oxygen supply, which causes a large accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles. Lactic acid is an acidic substance that can stimulate the nerve endings in the muscles and produce pain. In addition, the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles will cause excessive local osmotic pressure, which will absorb water from the surrounding area and cause muscle edema. This swelling and irritation is also the cause of muscle soreness.

For this symptom, you should give yourself a light massage before going to bed on the night after exercise. Taking a hot bath can also have a certain effect (but soaking in hot water for too long will make your muscles tired and weak). These can speed up the body's metabolism, so that the lactic acid accumulated in the muscles is gradually transported away by the blood, and the muscle soreness will gradually disappear. If you don't treat it on the same day, you will inevitably have muscle soreness the next day. At this time, any treatment will be useless and you can only wait for it to recover on its own.

After reading the above content about body pain after exercise, I hope it can help you solve your problems. You should take a walk after exercise and don’t sit down immediately, as this will easily make your body feel sore. At the same time, you can come back and take a hot bath to relax your body. The editor also reminds everyone to do warm-up exercises before exercise.
