How long of inactivity will it be until you will get DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness)?
DOMS doesn’t typically follow inactivity, but exercise. Specifically, exercise that is harder and of longer duration than you are accustomed to. Eccentric, i.e. negative, exertion seems to cause more soreness than concentric exertion.Usually, soreness occurs 24–48 hours after the exercise, but particularly intense exertion can cause soreness immediately after or even during the exercise.Edit:I came back to this and realised that you might be asking about how long a break from training you might take and then get more sore than you were used to.That will also vary a lot but rule of thumb is, about a week. If you take a week off, be preparted to tone down the first workout a bit or be sore.
What is the best remedy for Delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS)?
Do you suffer from muscle soreness after workouts?If so, the below are effective methods to reduce soreness and get you back at the top of your game quickly:1) Have showers, and contrast from hot and cold: This will increase blood flow and help to push inflammation out of the muscles. Take a 5 minute shower, and alternate between 20 seconds cold and 10 second hot.2) Take Curcumin:In high doses, this tasty ancient Indian spice is actually a potent anti-inflammatory. Ditch the pain killers for Curcumin.3) Massage: Since it can be time consuming and expensive, I wouldn’t suggest you go out and get a sports massage regularly. However, after a very hard workout or race it is a definite good opinion. Just one good massage can make an enormous difference, and is far more effective than a foam roller ifyou really, truly are beat up (foam rollers are good but take quite a lot of energy to use properly).4) Stay hydrated:I'm at it again - water!!! A shortage of electrolytes can contribute to muscle soreness. Therefore you need to make sure you are staying hydrated throughout your workout. Your muscles are working harder, they demand more oxygen and therefore need more blood pumping around – ~82% of your blood volume actually consists of water, so hydration is much more important and effective than simply quelling your thirst!- Ian David WorthingtonCreator, Owner and Coach at GymWolfPT.com
Is delayed onset muscle soreness good or bad for you?
It’s bad and you should make an effort to minimize it. Since it only occurs when you are untrained, you should start training with fairly light weights so that by the time the weight gets heavy, DOMS is no longer an issue.
Is marijuana a good remedy for delayed onset muscle soreness?
No. Some people say that it does. Each to their own. Not really a "good remedy". Does mildly take the edge of. Hardcore pain killers and anti-inflammatories much better. Sleep and mild stretching through full muscle range of motion would be far more useful when seeking to "cure" extreme DOMS... prevention is an idea....don't seek out to do exercise that results in DOMS if you have anything important to do in 2 days time...stay away from bench pressing a car until you can't even lift a feather type thing...havent trained in a few weeks...ibuprofen is an effective ally if pain bothersome...opiates....codeine...fentanyl...a few lungfuls of DMT ought to take your mind off it
How do I train for swimming when I have Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness?
Two part answer:DOMS comes from working hard. Recovery will relieve DOMS (so sleep proper, eat proper, hydrate proper).(tough love part) DOMS is most common for out of shape people. A very easy way to eliminate DOMS from your life is to improve your conditioning, especially in swimming. If you want more DOMS in your life: skip practice often, sleep poorly, eat junk food and stay dehydrated.Practical note: take an Ibuprofen after practice and/or before bed. It reduces inflammation. (if your doctor says don't take ibuprofen, listen to your doctor)Should you skip swim practice because you are sore? No. Maybe your practice quality is 80% instead of 100%, but you probably need to swim more.
