Generation

Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is muscle pain and stiffness that typically peaks 24-72 hours after unaccustomed or intense exercise, particularly eccentric (lengthening) contractions. It results from microscopic damage to muscle fibers and surrounding connective tissue, triggering an inflammatory response that causes swelling and pain. The soreness gradually subsides as the body repairs the damaged tissue, and the muscles adapt to become more resistant to future damage from similar activities. **Key concept**: DOMS severity ∝ Eccentric exercise intensity × Duration (though this is a proportional relationship rather than a strict formula, as DOMS has no standard mathematical equation).
