Surely on some occasions you have felt a pain of low-medium intensity in your muscles after exercising.Or you may have even had one of those horrible pains that almost do not let you move after an enthusiastic training session It will sound more if I tell you about laces, right? And even more dozens of theories and folk home remedies sound to treat them.What would you tell us if we told you that the vast majority are uncertain? In this article we are going to tell you the true reality of the laces, without half measures.
His scientific name...
The laces are scientifically known as deferred myalgia and it is, as most of us already knew, a late-onset muscle pain (DMAT).Other people know it as late-post-strenght muscle pain (DOMPAT).
Only theories
That's right.Regarding the laces there are only theories.Despite all the scientific advances that are currently nobody knows for sure what causes the laces .What if there are theories, some more accepted than others but none scientifically proven.These are:
Microfotures of muscle fibersThis is the theory that is most accepted by the scientific community although, as we said in the previous paragraph , there is no evidence to prove its veracity.
This theory suggests that muscle pain and inflammation occur due to the number of muscle microfibers that occur have broken during exercise.
Temperature riseThis theory points out that during the exercise session the muscles warm up and in some areas produce microlesions. It looks a bit like the previous theory and research is currently underway to verify its veracity.
Lactic acid accumulationThis It is, of the three theories, the only one that could totally deny .The theory maintained that the lactic acid resulting from the metabolic activity during the exercise crystallized causing muscle pain.
Without However, his lack of consistency when it was discovered that people suffering from McArdle disease, a rare disease in which the body is unable to break down Type V glycogen, also experienced that muscle pain.
And what is it? What if it works with the sores?
After several thorough investigations it has been shown that muscle stretching before and after exercising decrease the intensity of muscle pain.Also shaking your muscles during training has positive effects by improving blood circulation and taking a cold shower at the end of the exercise.Other customs that have proved very useful for preventing stiffness are a good warm-up prior to exercise and increase the intensity of the exercises little by little to allow time for the muscles to prepare for overexertion.
