What reason does leg muscle ache

summary

There are many patients with leg muscle soreness in life. Muscle soreness after exercise can be divided into acute muscle soreness and delayed muscle soreness. However, those who know it should be familiar with it. Acute muscle soreness appears immediately and disappears quickly. Now let's introduce the causes of leg muscle soreness.

What reason does leg muscle ache

First: too much exercise, after a large amount of activity, or a long interval of time without exercise, just after the beginning of exercise, often appear muscle soreness. This kind of muscle ache does not occur immediately after the end of exercise, but 1-2 days after the end of exercise, so it is called delayed pain. The causes of delayed muscle soreness after exercise are slight injury of local muscle fibers and connective tissue caused by large amount of muscle activity during exercise, and spasm of some muscle fibers. Because the slight injury and spasm of the muscle fiber are local, the whole muscle can still complete the motor function, but there is a sense of pain. After soreness, the muscle tissue becomes stronger than before after the repair of slight injury in the muscle, and the soreness will not occur in the future under the same load.

Second: muscle strain. Muscle strain is a kind of injury caused by sharp contraction or excessive traction of muscle during exercise. This is easy to happen in pull-up and sit ups. After the muscle strain, there is a sharp pain in the injured part. With the hand, you can feel the cord like hard block formed by muscle tension, with obvious pain, local swelling or subcutaneous bleeding, and obviously limited activities.

Third: for the treatment of leg muscle soreness caused by excessive exercise: hot compress the local muscle soreness, promote blood circulation and metabolic process, help to repair the damaged tissue and relieve spasm; Carry out static stretching exercise on sore area, keep stretching state for 2 minutes, then rest for 1 minute, repeat, do this stretching exercise several times a day, help to relieve spasm; massage sore area, make muscle relax, promote muscle blood circulation, help to repair injury and relieve spasm; Oral vitamin C can promote the synthesis of collagen in connective tissue, accelerate the repair of damaged tissue and relieve pain.

matters needing attention

1. Scientifically arrange exercise load according to different physique and health conditions; 2. During exercise, try to avoid long-term concentrated exercise on a certain part of the body, so as not to overburden the local muscles; 3. In preparatory activities, pay attention to the local muscles that are about to be heavily loaded during exercise; 4. In addition to the general relaxation exercise, we should also pay attention to the muscle stretching exercise, which helps to prevent local muscle fiber spasm. Stick to it, this situation will disappear after a while of exercise. Remember to relax after exercise. The spirit of sports lies in persistence. Only in this way can it be effective.
