Signs of muscle pain:
After a workout with insufficiently warmed muscles, a characteristic aching pain known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) occurs more often.
Causes of muscle pain:
- Microscopic damage to muscle fibers leads to inflammation, swelling and pain.
- Under-oxidized metabolic products accumulate in the muscles, which influence specific nerve receptors, what causes the pain.
Solution:
It is recommended to warm up the muscles before training. This improves blood supply, increases tissue elasticity and reduces the risk of microtrauma. It is necessary to increase the training load gradually. After the main exercises, stretching is performed for cooling down.
Special cosmetics with warming and toning natural components can help prepare muscles for exercise.
Most often, cosmetic products for stressed muscles include such ingredients as:
Menthol
Rosemary oil
Vanillyl butyl ether
