Hello again, athletes.
Just about all of us have, at one point or another, experienced muscle soreness after exercise. We especially feel it after intense weight training, since our muscles endure a number of tiny tears whenever we train. Afterwards, inflammation sets in as those tears start to heal, increasing pain for a day or so in a process called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). So how does fish oil help? Well, it’s still up for debate, but the idea is that because Omega-3s are good at fighting inflammation, supplementing with fish oil can help reduce the effect of DOMS. Researchers from Texas Tech University performed a study using a small pool of untrained subjects and concluded that, based on data trends alone, there’s a chance that fish oil could be beneficial. Will you try it?
