Why does muscle soreness aka DOMS take a day or two to feel the effects? Why not sooner?

532 viewsBiologyOther

Muscle soreness is felt the day after more often than the day of a workout. If a person has a workout in the morning they may feel tired or fatigued in the region they worked in the morning but it usually isn’t sore. The soreness kicks in the day or 2 afterwards. Why is that? Why isn’t it sore the day of later on?

Is it better to take a rest day if your muscles are sore for more than 2 days? Let’s say i am a beginner who has just been working out for a few weeks.
