Supports connective tissue disruption in delayed muscle soreness; hypothesis-generating for mechanism-targeted recovery strategies.
What are the physiological mechanisms underlying delayed muscle soreness after exercise?
Delayed muscle soreness after exercise appears to be related to connective tissue disruption rather than muscle spasm or muscle cell damage.
William M. Abraham (1977) studied this question.
