About Muscle Regeneration

Muscle regeneration is a natural process that occurs in the body as a response to injury or damage to muscle tissue. It can be stimulated by exercise and nutrition and inhibited by certain factors such as age, disease, injury, and certain genetic mutations.

What happens to damaged muscles?

After exercise, there may be minor muscle damage, a decrease in substrate concentration and an accumulation of metabolic by-products (e.g. lactic acid). Recovery usually takes approximately 2 to 3 days. However, larger muscle injuries take a relatively long time to heal, are very painful, and can lead to chronic pain up to and including treatment.

Recommendations

Exercise is a great way to improve your health and well-being. However, after exercise, your muscles may be feeling sore and tired. Drink plenty of fluids, eat a healthy diet with enough protein, stretch before and after exercising and get enough sleep every night.
