What causes the feeling of soreness after physical activity?
In: Biology
The mitochondria in your cells are constantly processing glucose (food) into energy. When there’s more energy needed than the mitochondria can produce then the glucose, which has already been slightly broken down by the cytoplasm (cell jelly), gets all backed up and must be reassembled, but your cells can’t make glucose so they make it into lactic acid which causes the soreness and burning in your muscles.
