what is muscle recovery time?
340519
Every muscle has a different recovery cycle which is unique to each muscle and each individual.  The recovery cycle of large muscle groups is typically longer than smaller muscle groups.  Two individuals with the same build may have very different recovery cycles so it is very unique depending on individual physiology.

You might have sprained or pulled the muscle. A nice massage might help.

Yeah, you sure made it sound more complicated than it is. \nWork each body part once a week, hard enough to deserve a full week of rest between workouts. The real period of muscle growth isn't when you are ripping your muscles apart, it's when they are recovering from a workout. Eat a good diet, high in protein (if you are going for muscle growth).  Get plenty of active rest. Active rest doens't need sit on the couch. It means do your usual activity without straining yourself too much.

It may seem obvious, but you are not getting "old" and at the same time you are no longer 22.  One indication of your fitness is the lead time until you feel fully sore.  That's a good thing in the sense that your muscles and related connective and support tissues seem very fit.  If it takes five days to "recover" is that bad?  Too hard to tell because the nature of "playing hard" and "working hard" could easily impact how long any muscle soreness takes to dissipate.  I would ask about the levels of activity and your diet and whether the soreness tends to come from repetitive things (if you played a racket sport since you were 15 you may now be experiencing both new and cumulative effects, particularly if you are continuing to try and play at the same levels you played 15 years ago).  See a sports medicine doctor - he or she can do some really good analytics around activity/diet/history and give you the real scoop on at least most of what you feel is going on.  FYI, as someone who has hit 50 and tried at times to act like a fit 37 year old, experience has taught me to take on less traumatizing activities and recognize healthy alternatives to keep down injuries, stay fit and maintain flexibility.  A nutritionist and sports doctor have been invaluable.

If you start out in top physical condition with strong abdominal muscles, recovery from abdominoplasty will be much faster. Some people return to work after two weeks, while others take three or four weeks to rest and recuperate. After surgery, exercise can help you heal better. Even people who have never exercised before should begin an exercise program to reduce swelling, lower the chance of blood clots, and tone muscles. Vigorous exercise, however, should be avoided until you can do it comfortably.

it depends on how bad the injury is and where its actually located,ideally rest in a sling for a period of 4-6 wks wud b required ,and then mobilization is mandatory,gentle exercises within the sling would be started within two weeks and a more strenous regime after the healing.

you can go back to limited activity within 3 to 5 days.\nyou can go back to full activity within one week.\nthis answer is conditional with no other problem coming along the way after the operation,cause any problem delays recovery.

This is strictly a decision made by the physician in charge. I have seen recovery after 40 minutes, but most do not go beyond 20-30 minutes with a straight line.

Some of the top pros do that, but they train different muscle groups. Basically just train once every two days. You see, muscle 'growth' is what happens when the muscle repairs. Well, it needs time to repair.

Fatigue sets in after approximately 36 hours because micro-damage to the muscle tissue and subsequent repair (which is how we build muscle when we work out) takes time because a period is necessary to initiate the inflammation and repair process, usually between 24 and 36 hours.  The inflammation process activates C fibers in the muscle, which sends nerve signals sensing pain to the brain, as a reaction to the inflammation.

Take it within 30 minutes after a workout.  This is when your body starts repairing your muscles and needs the protein.  Eat an apple or orange before a workout.  This will give you a little energy and prepare your body to help absorb the protein after the workout.

Depends on how long it takes for you to go get it...lol\n\nNo it all depends on how serious it is...slipped disc; months maybe even never... pulled muscle a few days or a week...if it is soo sore that you can barely sit then you should get it checked for a more serious injury.

After a workout your muscle sets need 48 hours of rest.  Professional builders exercise one set top one day bottom the next day.  Giving your muscles time to heal and build is just as important as the work out.

Usually the doctor will clear you to start exercising after 6 weeks.  He will advise you to start slow and gradually increase as your muscles return to normal strength.\n\nUnder NO circumstances should you resume exercise until it has been cleared by your doctor.  Though the skin heals in about a week, the internal incisions through muscle, fat, and the uterus need more time to heal.

it looks like your training too many muscle groups in a day...also, the way you have it, your actusally working more muscle groups without knowing....for example....its hard to train back without training biceps....its hard to train chest without biceps...this being said, the actual muscle growth happens in between workouts during rest periods.  Giving msucle groups 3-4 days of rest without wotrking them out will give you better resuolts.  Also, alowing yourself a day of ret will help with overall gains.  If you are a hyperactive person, dedicate your day off and a portion of each exercise to running.  Also, make sure you are working muscles to failure when working with 4-7 Rep sets (Non-Warmup Sets)

It is not entirely true. \n\nFor an average person, it is not good to train the same muscle on consecutive days. Your muscles take 48-72 hours to recover depending on the intensity of your workout.\n\nYou can however work completely different set of muscles on consecutive days and make excellent gains. For eg. chest and triceps on Day 1 / Legs on Day2. \n\nPowerlifters however practice the same lifts (they don't train body parts, but train for lifts) probably every single day. They are professionals, have diiferent diets and schedules, lead completely different lives from us normal people.

You didn't say what your routine is.\n\nWork out upper body and lower body every other day, in order to give your muscles recovery time.
