Causes of Sore Muscle

As people age, they start to grumble more of discomfort in their joint parts and muscle tissue. They seem to restrict up with age, and and such commonplace activities as bending over for the morning paper can make them flinch.

Such soreness can grasp so fiercely that they are sure it begins deep in their bones. Nevertheless the real cause of stiffness and soreness is not in the joints or bone tissues, according to the research at the John Hopkins School of medicine, but in the muscles and connective tissues that move the joints.

The frictional level of resistance produced by the two rubbing areas of bones in the joints is negligible, even in joints damaged by osteoarthritis.

Flexibility is the medical term used to describe the wide range of a joint’s motion from full movement in one direction to full movement in the other. The greater the range of movement, the more flexible the joint.
 
Different factors to control the adaptability and ease of action in different joints and muscles. In the elbow and knee, the bony structure itself sets a definite limit. In other joints, such as the ankle, hip, and back, the soft tissue—muscle and connective tissue—limit the motion range.

The problem of inflexible joint and muscles is similar to the difficulty of opening and closing the gate because of rust and rarely used.

Hence, if you don't frequently move your joints and muscles through their complete amounts of movement, they lose some of their potential. That is why when these people will try to move a joint after a long period of inactivity, they feel soreness, and that discourage further use.

What happens next is that the muscles become shortened with prolonged disuse and produces spasms and suffering that can be frustrating and extremely agonizing. The immobilization of muscles, as researchers have demonstrated with laboratory animals, brings about biochemical changes in the tissue.

Hence, it is very important to know the restrictions and capacity of the muscles in order to prevent sore muscle. This goes to show that there is no fact in the saying, “No pain, no gain.” What matters most is on how people stay fit by exercising regularly at a normal range than once rarely but on a rigid routine.
