Muscle Damage and Repair: Why Am I So Sore?
Presenter: Monica J. Hubal, Ph.D., FACSM
This course will cover how unaccustomed or strenuous exercise can cause damage to muscle, usually manifesting as temporary weakness, inflammation and delayed onset muscle soreness. The first part of this presentation will explain how muscle damage occurs following exercise. We will then explore the repair and regeneration of muscle post-exercise, which helps muscle adapt to future challenges, and highlight factors that could benefit or impair these processes. Finally, we will explore the well-known inter-subject variation in damage, where some people experience more or less soreness from the same amount of exercise and suggest how to protect high-risk people from significant damage.
This course was developed using content from ACSM’s 2024 From Around the Field webinar series.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand how muscle damage occurs with exercise, including different measures of “damage” like delayed onset muscle soreness.
2. Explain why some people experience more or less damage in response to exercise
3. Explore how muscle repairs itself and how repeated bouts of exercise drive adaptation.
