The consequence? <strong>It led to a loss of strength.<\/strong>&nbsp;According to the premise of muscles after muscle ache, the result should look the opposite. One of the&nbsp;<strong>studies from 2012<\/strong>&nbsp;states that&nbsp;<strong>there was a decrease of muscle activation <\/strong>due to the muscle ache from previous workout.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Again, different result. The most interesting conclusion has another <strong>study from 2012<\/strong>&nbsp;that studied<strong>&nbsp;functionality of muscle \u201cwith muscle ache\u201d.<\/strong>&nbsp;Like the previous mentioned studies, the conclusion is even here probably surprising, because <strong>a 50 % decrease in strength&nbsp;<\/strong>was found in examined muscle.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>There are probably more studies that focus on mentioned or similar topic, but 3 independent sources lead to the same conclusion \u2013&nbsp;<strong>muscles do not grow faster after muscle ache.<\/strong> <span style=\"color:#ff6600\" class=\"tadv-color\">[6]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.sk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/svalovica-a-rast-svalov-1124x749.jpeg\" alt=\"muscle ache and muscle growth\" class=\"wp-image-181007\" width=\"843\" height=\"562\" title=\"muscle ache and muscle growth\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/svalovica-a-rast-svalov-1124x749.jpeg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/svalovica-a-rast-svalov-400x267.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/svalovica-a-rast-svalov-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/svalovica-a-rast-svalov-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, there is <strong>a study from 2010,<\/strong>&nbsp;that states that&nbsp;<strong>muscle ache can contribute to muscle growth <\/strong>to some extend.<strong>&nbsp;Powerlifters <\/strong>use&nbsp;<strong>high weights<\/strong>&nbsp;during the workout and their breaks are longer.
