These tears, coupled with inflammation and temporary muscle aches and pains are commonly referred to as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness or DOMS. Typically, DOMS increases after exercise and peaks 24 to 72 hours later. Although more research is needed, proposed strategies for reducing exercise-induced inflammation, pain, soreness, and weakness include cold or hot water immersion, cryotherapy, and compression clothing. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the most commonly used drugs by athletes of all levels to reduce exercise-mediated inflammation and soreness.
Key Takeaways:
- Although more research is needed, proposed strategies for reducing exercise-induced inflammation, pain, soreness, and weakness include cold or hot water immersion, cryotherapy, and compression clothing.
- Tart cherries contain large phytochemicals known as anthocyanins, which are being studied for their anti-inflammatory properties.
- Similar improvements in exercise recovery have been reported with pomegranate-ellagitannin extract and pomegranate juice.
"Several studies have highlighted the importance of recovery following prolonged or high-intensity exercise (like marathons, ultra-marathons, and triathlons)."
