Contrary to earlier research conclusions, a study at the University of Umeå, Sweden, has shown that you renew and re-build muscles and muscle fibers even though they hurt and are sore after training.
This means you can train the day after a hard session, without worrying about getting injured. Even though you are sore, this does not mean that you have injured the muscles or the connective tissue. Rather the opposite. You have improved.
РYou can safely train again the day after a hard session, even though you are sore, says anatomy Professor at the University of Ume̴, Lars-Eric Thornell.
 has increased, and that the changes were for the better.</p>
<p>– We also found that the soreness is not in the muscle itself, but in the connective tissue, says Thornell.</p>
<p><B>Soreness a positive thing</B></p>
<p>Thornell now thinks these results should contribute to people looking more positive at muscle soreness from training.<br />
– To feel muscle soreness after a training session, means we have exercised a muscle we seldom use.</p>
<p>The pain and soreness is therefore positive. It means we have improved the muscle, says Thornell, who still thinks the best advice is to train in a consistant and regular manner.</p>
<p>– Even though we have found that we build stronger muscles even though we hurt and are sore, this does not mean that we can train irregularly and expect great results. The best is still to exercise at least three times per week, says Thornell.</p>
