Muscles are highly vascular and the lactic acid is rapidly metabolized so it isn't a problem. If you train hard like a weightlifter icing will eventually be necessary for recovery.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01675518910313487729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5919110528086057097.post-13293419696507030782012-03-28T00:17:46.126-07:002012-03-28T00:17:46.126-07:00Hey I have heard a theory.

What has been explained to me is that the blood in the exercised muscles will travel to vital organs taking with it the lactic acid and then will be replaced with new blood cells. <br />Good article. I have experienced DOMS many times and like you it always comes after long bouts of idleness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5919110528086057097.post-22087453346693781022012-03-27T14:08:07.724-07:002012-03-27T14:08:07.724-07:00I have actually heard (not read) that lactate is i...I have actually heard (not read) that lactate is important in healing processes. So if a muscle is injured (torn) continuing to work it, albeit lightly, will help it heal better with less scar tissue than just laying off it. The point is lactate gets a bad rap. It is actually a very useful highly transient metabolite.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01675518910313487729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5919110528086057097.post-61689480795954878912012-03-27T13:07:14.146-07:002012-03-27T13:07:14.146-07:00I totally agree with you bri.

There are many factors that raise the lactate levels in your blood(most are medically induced). But these high lactate levels are quickly metabolised within a few hours. And the inflammatory response takes place in any body tissue that is overly stressed. The good thing is that muscle tissue is extremely resilient when compared to other tissues. Good work Brian most everyone attributes soreness completely to lactate buildup, when about 40% of pain and soreness your body experiences results from inflammation of one kind or another.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166979946758058137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5919110528086057097.post-51431343126120951702012-03-27T12:47:40.486-07:002012-03-27T12:47:40.486-07:00This reads like an interesting column in Runner...This reads like an interesting column in Runner's World or other magazine.
