In workout: the muscles are overstressed, occur muscle pains

Signs:

After a workout with insufficiently warmed muscles, a characteristic aching pain known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) occurs more often.

Causes: 

  • 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
