I just read this report below and thought you might be interested!
"We used to think that the muscle soreness that you feel on the day after you exercise is caused by a buildup of lactic acid. Now we know that lactic acid has nothing to do with post-exercise muscle soreness.
Next-day muscle soreness is caused by damage to the muscle fibers themselves. Muscle biopsies taken on the day after exercising show bleeding and disruption of the z-band filaments that hold the fibers together as they slide over each other during a contraction. People who continue to exercise when their muscles feel sore are the ones most likely to feel sore on the next day. Therefore, you can prevent soreness by stopping exercising when your muscles start to burn and hurt.
A lot of people think that cooling down, or exercising at a very slow pace after exercising more vigorously, helps to prevent muscle soreness. It doesn't. Cooling down speeds up the removal of lactic acid from muscles, but a buildup of lactic acid does not cause muscle soreness. Post exercise muscle soreness is not due to contracted muscle fibers, so stretching after exercising does not prevent muscle soreness. Massage and electrical stimulation have not been shown to help you heal faster. Aspirin taken before exercise will not prevent muscle soreness /and taken after exercise will not shorten the source of muscle soreness.
Once you have delayed onset muscle soreness, the only effective treatment is rest.
