/fit/When you are sore from working out, do you burn more calories due to muscle regeneration? Also, it seems that when sore (let's say in your lower body/legs for example) my heart rate is higher when doing everyday tasks.
I don't think so, David.
>>65196The body has to use some energy to regenerate torn muscle tissue, right?
>>65199Well you have to understand that soreness doesn't come from built muscle but excess lactic acid which your body must cleanse. With your muscles essentially full of shit they aren't able to utilize energy to the fullest. After workouts your likely to burn more calories than normal, that's a given. But a day afterwards and you're sore? No, not much more than normal.
>>65203Wrong. The day after you've lifted weights your muscles need to be rebuilt. It takes energy and protein to do this. So yes, you burn more calories.
>>65203DOMS is not Lactic Acid buildup. Quit parroting outdated information.OP, of course your body uses more energy to rebuild the muscles compared to if they hadn't been worked out, but I'm sure it's nothing to write home about.
>>65213>>65210samefagOP, Guil and Moonmauler are trolls and they have been trolling /fit/ since it's inception. Look up lactic acid inhibits uptake of protein on google and click the first link.
>>65221Me? A troll? :(
>>65221>SamefagWell, you failed.Also, that, what you said to google, has nothing to do with muscle soreness and caloric expenditure as far as I could see.
>>65221Read the Wikipedia article, moron."Since lactic acid disperses fairly rapidly, it could not explain pain experienced days after exercise, and some concentric-only exercises produce lactic acid, but rarely produce DOMS"
