Even the most unfit of us would have experienced some form of muscle fatigue or soreness at some point. Too much standing, sitting or exercising can lead to muscle fatigue or soreness – a classic symptom that occurs after a period of sustained activity.

Muscle fatigue has a number of possible causes, including impaired blood flow, ion imbalance within the muscle, nervous fatigue, and most importantly, the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle.
