Question

During delayed onset muscle soreness, strength production is reduced by as much as ____% in the first five days.

Answer 1

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Muscle pain occurs when we generate micro muscle injuries during training, as they, like any injury, cause local inflammation that activates the pain receptor. When this feeling of discomfort appears between 24h and 48h after stimulation, we call it late-onset muscle pain. When this type of pain occurs, strength production is reduced by up to 50% in the first five days.

Answer 2

During delayed onset muscle soreness, strength production is reduced by as much as 33% in the first five days. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness is also known as DOMS, and is very common in individuals who are new to exercise. DOMS may be prevented further if a person incorporates stretching and flexibility exercises into his/her trainings.
