It is something normal that anyone who has played sports has ever experienced, but how to avoid stiffness?
The soreness is muscular discomfort that can appear after a few hours, the next day or even 48 hours after performing a session of physical activity more intense than usual or when we resume exercise after a period of rest.
Tips to avoid shoelaces
Stretching before and after practicing any exercise. There are many studies that support that carrying out a warm-up just before regular exercise causes small reductions in later-onset muscle pain, that is, stiffness.
Warming up the muscles before and after activity or programmed exercises is also essential.
Exercise in moderation. Prevent above all. Having not practiced exercise for a long time and wanting to give the maximum the first week will only lead to a lot of stiffness and a possible injury. It is best to gradually increase the time of exercise and also the intensity. Step by Step. Increasing activity by 10% each week is the best strategy.
Hydrate properly. Drink water or sports drinks before, during and after exercise.
Eating properly will also help reduce the effects of soreness.
Avoid sudden and serious changes in our training . Both in the type of exercise and in the amount of time we dedicate.
If we still have stiffness, it is best to wait, rest the body for a few days . In all probability the pain will disappear in about 3-7 days without any special treatment.
Measure, as always, is the key to success.
