Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is a familiar experience to most people who exercise. It effects people who weight train and run particularly, and DOMS can produce anything from mild muscle soreness to debilitating pain and weakness.
= What is DOMS? =
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) generally occurs between 24 and 72 hours after unusual or severe exercise, such as racing a marathon. DOMS is particularly related to eccentric exercise, which is where the muscle works to resist becoming longer, rather than working to contract. When you muscles absorb the impact of running, this is eccentric. [[Downhill Running]] is much more eccentric than flat or uphill running.
