SHR # 2931:: Does Muscle Soreness Equate to a Productive Workout? - Brad Schoenfeld, MSc, CSCS, CSPS - Brad Schoenfeld discusses his most recent research paper authored with Brett Contreras looking at the role of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness as an indication of a productive workout. The discussion is quite important as so many people want to know the answer to this age-old question. DELAYED ONSET MUSCLE SORENESS (DOMS) IS A COMMON SIDE EFFECT OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, PARTICULARLY OF A VIGOROUS NATURE. MANY EXERCISERS WHO REGULARLY PERFORM RESISTANCE TRAINING CONSIDER DOMS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST INDICATORS OF TRAINING EFFECTIVENESS, WITH SOME RELYING UPON THIS SOURCE AS A PRIMARY GAUGE. IN TODAY'S SHOW WE DISCUSS THE RELEVANCE OF USING DOMS TO ASSESS WORKOUT QUALITY.
