Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) refers to next day muscle soreness and is coming 24-48 hours after exercise. Peak soreness is at 48 - 72 h post-exercise. Athletes will experience DOMS after high intensity excercise work-outs. At low intensity exercise/work-outs the athlete will rarely experience soreness. Lay public believes lactate production is causing DOMS, but this is not correct. Lactate removal from muscles is rapid, typical 60-120 minutes after exercise. The cause of DOMS is microscopic injury to muscle fibres which leads to inflammation.
