Muscle soreness occurs after fitness, the main reason is that lactic acid produced in muscles after exercise cannot be metabolized, which leads to accumulation and soreness. There are several ways to deal with this situation. The first is to do local hot compress to accelerate local blood circulation and promote lactic acid metabolism. Secondly, the principle of proper massage is to promote the blood circulation of muscles and promote the metabolism of lactic acid; Third, moderate functional exercise, exercise is to exercise the contraction of muscle fibers, use the function of muscle pump and promote the metabolism of lactic acid. Another is to drink plenty of water, which can accelerate the discharge of lactic acid and relieve muscle aches.
Ways to relieve muscle soreness
Method 1: Protect muscles before and during exercise.
1. Warm up first and gradually enter the exercise state. Doing warm-up exercises and exercising muscles first can effectively avoid injuries during exercise, and it is forbidden to skip the preparation steps and start high-intensity exercise directly.
2. Stretch correctly. Stretching before and after exercise helps lactic acid metabolism in muscles. Stretch after warm-up, then the muscles become more flexible and not easy to be damaged when stretching; Stretching immediately after high-intensity exercise can prevent muscle stiffness and relieve soreness.
3. Keep enough water. It is recommended to drink a glass of water every 15 minutes of high-intensity exercise. Lack of water during exercise will cause dizziness and fainting, and it will also aggravate muscle soreness after exercise. Therefore, we must replenish enough water in time to increase the oxygen content of muscles, thereby increasing endurance and promoting lactic acid metabolism after exercise.
