When you are de-conditioned i.e. have not been in regular training for a number of weeks or months, why do I feel pain in the muscles that I have started working again?
The answer is likely due to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). It's the body's natural response to muscle stress, and usually peaks at 48hrs. It's nothing to worry about, just part of the process of getting back into shape.
Having had the experience of working with many athlete's and private clients who believe that they are actually injured having experienced DOMS, I find it incredible that DOMS is a concept which is still not fully understood or appreciated.
