Muscle Exercises

Exercise is frequently recommended as a means of improving your abilities. Exercise has several effects upon muscles, bone, and the nerves that stimulate the muscles. Humans are genetically predisposed with a larger percentage of one type of muscle group over another. People with high overall musculation and balanced muscle type percentage engage in sports such as rugby or boxing and often engage in other sports to increase their performance in the former.

Delayed onset muscle soreness is pain or discomfort that may be felt one to three days after exercising and subsides generally within two to three days later. Once thought to be caused by lactic acid buildup, a more recent theory is that it is caused by tiny tears in the muscle fibres caused by eccentric contraction, or unaccustomed training levels. Since lactic acid disperses fairly rapidly, it could not explain pain experienced days after exercise. If you want to train your muscles, do it in the safe method.
