Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Delayed onset of muscle soreness is commonly referred to as DOMS and is typically caused by microscopic tears in the muscle resulting in calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Lactic acid buildup in muscles and depletion of muscle glycogen can cause muscle fatigue but do not typically lead to delayed onset muscle soreness. Muscle cramps are caused by involuntary contractions of a muscle or group of muscles and are not typically associated with delayed onset muscle soreness.
