How to deal with Sore legs

Everybody experiences sore legs after a workout. Sometimes it might be sore until your next session making your performance in that session mediocre. Here are a few things that may help.

What causes muscle soreness? The common myth is that Lactic acid causes muscle soreness after a workout. What really causes it is tiny microscopic muscle fibre tears that occur during your workout.

The two things that make the soreness better are Eating good food and resting Eating healthy food send proteins and other macro and micronutrients to repair the damage in the muscles. This takes time, which you get when you rest. There's no other way around this, however there are ways to speed up the process.

Way to speed up the process Light exercise the day after a match or strenuous training, this helps bring in blood filled with oxygen and nutrients. This helps to recover better, more than laying in your bed the whole day. 

The light exercise is things like biking for a few minutes at a medium pace and dynamic movements and stretching. Things like high knees, butt kicks, side to side, shuffling, karaoke, jumping headers and hamstring touch downs etc. For me foam rolling helps a lot because it releases knots in your muscle and applies pressure to tight areas. 

Once again Diet is very important Through out the day you should be eating lots of lean proteins such as peas lentils and pulses (I don't know if they're the same thing). You should also be consuming carbs so that you have energy for the next training session or match. 

That's all I have for this
