We all know that in order to boast a toned body, you have to do a lot of exercise on a constant basis and we think that muscles are being formed at the moment of physical activity. But strangely enough, it is later, when the body is at rest, that more muscle builds up in the body.
For this muscle growth (or muscle hypertrophy) to occur, repetitive movements must be made that produce overexertion, which in turn causes micro-tearing of the muscle fibres.
It is when the body is at rest that the damaged muscle fibres begin to repair themselves and form new strands of muscle protein, but they will be thicker than before and will even increase in number, leading to muscle growth. In short, you have to destroy first in order to build later, which is why it is so important to rest in order to be able to form new muscle fibres.
Muscle damage after exercise can cause pain, discomfort and even heaviness. The use of massage creams with specific active ingredients provides relief and a relaxing effect. There are those with a warming effect such as Confort Cream of Exdol or the Cold Therapy Spray Exdol with cold effect.
