Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After intense activity, your muscles feel sore because of
A
the accumulation of NAD+
B
the accumulation of lactic acid
C
the accumulation of ATP
D
the accumulation of carbon dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This happens because oxygen can’t get to the muscle fast enough to keep up with the amount of energy the muscle needs. “When your muscles are making energy anaerobically, lactic acid is created as a byproduct, ” says Dr. Hedt.

Detailed explanation-2: -Furthermore, the notion that lactic acid is responsible for delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS, was debunked in the 1980s. Research suggests the soreness is a result of a cascade of physiological effects in response to microscopic trauma sustained during intense exercise.

Detailed explanation-3: -Accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles causes cramps.
