"DOMS is muscle soreness that becomes evident six-to-eight hours following activity, peaking around 24 to 48 hours post-training," says Jon Mike, CSCS, NSCA-CPT and PhD candidate in Exercise Science at the University of New Mexico.

DOMS is caused by tiny micro tears in the muscle fibre, usually caused due to any unaccustomed strain put on your body in the form of exercise.

Kim and Lee from Kookmin University in Seoul, Korea, published in the Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation, the authors reviewed existing studies that evaluated nutritional interventions for DOMS; (1) in particular, the authors of the review focused on the evidence surrounding caffeine, omega-3 fatty acids, taurine, and polyphenols.

DOMS is one of the most common reasons for impaired muscle performance in sports and is associated with muscle soreness, reduced muscle strength, and range of motion, and is frequently observed both in professional and recreational athletes (Kim and Kim, 2014; Mizuno et al., 2016; Pearcey et al., 2015).
