Muscle Soreness Explained
Muscle soreness often peaks 24 to 48 hours post-exercise, challenging the traditional belief that it's solely due to micro-tears. Instead, an inflammatory immune response plays a significant role, with fluid accumulation affecting pressure receptors and triggering pain. This complex interaction suggests that much of the soreness may stem from neural feedback loops rather than direct muscle damage.In this clip

Why do I get sore after working out, as explained in the episode Dr. Andy Galpin: Maximize Recovery to Achieve Fitness & Performance Goals | Huberman Lab and the clip Muscle Soreness Explained? Is this explanation correct? After working out, an inflammatory response occurs that causes swelling (due to fluid accumulation) in the muscle tissue. This response can start right away but peaks around 24-48 hours when soreness really starts to kick in. Muscles send signals from pressure sensors, and due to this swelling, pain receptors (nociceptors) are activated. Is this explanation accurate?
