Exercise-induced thigh muscle pain is mainly caused by lactic acid accumulation and muscle microstructure destruction, which can be treated by early cold compress, massage and late hot compress.

Anaerobic glycolysis leads to lactic acid accumulation during exercise; The destruction of muscle microstructure is also caused by muscle traction during exercise, which gradually heals during the recovery period, and the healed muscle will become thicker than the original muscle fiber.

Treatment of thigh muscle pain during exercise;

1. Immediately after heavy load training, train the target muscles with cold packs, usually for 10 ~ 15 minutes, with clothes or towels between the ice packs and the skin to prevent skin frostbite;

2. Eating a lot of carbohydrates within 2 hours after exercise can restore the level of muscle glycogen, so eat a meal within 2 hours after training;

3. Stretch the muscles in sore parts mainly after training 12 hours or when training other events the next day;

4. You can sit on the ground or bed, straighten your legs, hold your hands tightly, and then slowly press your thighs with the protruding joints on your hands, and the direction is to slowly push them from your thighs to your knees. After five minutes, change the direction, focus the pressing points on the pain points, and press 1 min at each acupoint, which can effectively relieve muscle soreness;

5. After several hours of training, hot compress can be used to accelerate blood circulation and expel metabolites such as lactic acid, bringing fresh blood to the target muscles and providing more nutrition for recovery.
