Starting within a day of your exercise session, your muscles begin to seize up, and you feel more and more uncomfortable.
For the next couple of days, you move like a robot, find it hard to dress yourself, and the simple act of walking down a set of stairs will see you groaning in agony.
DOMS is the hallmark of eccentric exercise. This is any exercise that causes a muscle to lengthen while it is under tension.
Examples of eccentric exercise are running (particularly downhill), the lowering movement of a bicep curl, and the downward phase of a squat.
