@koooarashi トレーニング後の筋肉痛と筋力低下（≒疲労）は比例しないという研究があります。 https://t.co/Q5vM3if9gz 一般的に、筋力はトレーニング直後が最も低下している一方で、筋肉痛は48時間後にピークが来ると言われますし。 私のブログ記事も参考にしてください。 https://t.co/PMpL6aXb61

Does soreness indicate training magnitude? "Because of generally poor correlations between DOMS and other indicators, we conclude that use of DOMS is a poor reflector of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage and inflammation" https://t.co/JKXsp4SC4d

✅伸張性収縮に伴う遅発性筋痛（DOMS）の程度は筋損傷の程度とは必ずしも一致しないことを示唆する報告 https://t.co/2AuGlloB8i 伸張性収縮によって著しいDOMSが生じることは間違いはなさそうだけど、それが”筋損傷だけ”によるものかといわれたらそうではないのかも

@NathanpmYoung This isn't true; DOMS/soreness/pump isn't a reliable indicator for muscle growth If you stick to a routine, it's common to stop feeling sore even though the numbers keep going up This result replicates well, e.g. https://t.co/byDaPYlKLa

筋肉痛が激しいほど筋肉の損傷の程度が著しいと考えてしまうが、実際のところ、そうとも限らない。 #筋肉 #筋トレ #トレボク https://t.co/XuPclns5zz

@kurapikult Okay did it myself. Here you go. In short: DOMS is not a definitive indicator or workout quality. It has not been shown to be causal to muscle growth. Review: https://t.co/7lyCwaTLUt One of the highly-cited papers: https://t.co/bL8SfSHiDZ
