Positive mood increased and negative mood decreased during each class, but favorable mood from exercise diminished by the following week.
This section addresses the neurology underlying muscle pain because exercise requires the activation of skeletal muscles, and exercise training most consistently improves medical conditions that involve skeletal muscle pain. If lactate were a cause of muscle pain during exercise, then these patients should have less pain. During exercise, the increased activation of sensory afferent receptors detecting non-noxious pressure, muscle stretch, and muscle force could modify muscle pain intensity...
