After training, the whole body hurts: What does it say

The doctor explains why, in fact, after physical exertion, we feel pain and aches throughout the body

Let me explain to you an interesting phenomenon, why our whole body hurts after going to the gym.

Everyone seems to know that this is due to lactic acid production. And in more detail?

Imagine that a huge muscle mass, hitherto completely at rest, suddenly becomes activated, strongly activated. It requires energy resources. She takes glucose, glycogen, then fats begin to go into this furnace.

We are looking after energy resources inflammatory factors, the brightest of them is interleukin-6. This is the chief supply manager who issues or does not issue energy substance. Inflammation starts.

The next day, there are so many of these inflammatory factors in the body that everything hurts even more. The only thing left to do is lie down and feel sorry for yourself.

What to do?

Don't stop practicing. The body will quickly get used to the idea that the muscle tissue is activated, it requires energy resources. And if physical activity becomes stable, then there is a fitness effect -

You can imagine such a scene. Our supply manager of interleukin-6 says to his warehouse: so, now we give these energy resources to muscle tissue every day, it requires them all the time. So it is necessary, and it will no longer cause us any irritation.

The pain will go away, the fitness will remain.
