One pretty common group of people that shops at Invite Health are athletes. We have all sorts from tri-athletes to professional baseball players. One thing that they commonly ask is how to prevent muscle soreness after exercise or after training. This becomes a bigger issue with athletes over the age of 35. Once you hit about 35 years old, it takes longer to recover from physical activity. So a muscle injury can really slow you down.

What is Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness?
It is normal to have a little bit of muscle soreness after your workout. But delayed-onset muscle soreness is muscle pain that begins after you’ve worked out. It normally starts a day or two after a workout and could be caused by you using a new machine or heavier weight than you are accustomed to. You won’t feel it during a workout but you do feel it a few days later. Pain felt during or immediately after a workout is a different kind of muscle soreness, called acute muscle soreness. It occurs when the fibers in your muscles get damaged.

Having some trouble turning off Netflix and finding the motivation to work out? Well, this should do the trick! New findings of a recent study show that, on top of its benefits for metabolism, mood, and general health, exercise also improves brain function.
Researchers from the University of Tübingen set out to investigate whether or not exercise can improve insulin sensitivity in the brain and improve cognition in overweight individuals.
The study, led by Dr. Stephanie Kullmann, involved 22 sedentary adults who were overweight or obese (an average BMI of 31), who underwent two brain scans before and after an 8-week exercise intervention that included cycling and walking. Brain function was measured before and after using an insulin nasal spray to record insulin sensitivity of the brain. Researchers noted the participants cognition, mood, and peripheral metabolism.
Though the intervention only resulted in marginal weight loss, brain function important for metabolism “normalized” after only 8-weeks. Increases of regional brain flow in areas of the brain important for motor control and reward processes, which depend of the neurotransmitter dopamine, were shown. Dopamine is important for learning new motor skills and in reward-related learning. This study shows that exercise significantly improves dopamine-related brain function.
Kullman explains, “The bottom line is that exercise improves brain function. And increasing insulin sensitivity in dopamine-related blood regions through exercises may help decrease the risk of a person to develop type 2 diabetes, along with the benefits for mood and cognition.”
