Muscle repair

Muscle repair is the process through which the body heals damaged muscle fibers after injury or strenuous exercise. When muscles are stressed, small tears occur, prompting the body to initiate repair. This involves inflammation, where immune cells clear out damaged tissue, followed by satellite cells activating to rebuild and strengthen the injured area. Nutrients, particularly proteins, play a crucial role in this repair and growth. Rest, hydration, and proper nutrition enhance recovery, allowing muscles to become stronger and more resilient over time, ultimately improving their performance and function.
