The phrase "No pain. No gain" has been around since the 80's, but is it true?

In this episode, Janet and Nikki discuss the science and myths of DOMS or delayed onset muscle soreness.

Looking at the data, they cover:

- The definition of DOMS

- Common causes of DOMS (surprisingly, it's not necessarily caused by working hard)

- How DOMS affects performance in the areas of strength, cardiovascular endurance and flexibility

- The relationship between DOMS and sport/fitness related injury
