Not quite a weight training related question, but fitness one NTL so you guys may be able to help here.

What's the best way of dealing with DOMS? I played my first soccer game on the weekend and my muscles are killing me (haven't really had much training and a lot of players were injured so I was put on for 80% of the game).

I have training Wednesday and also starting a night job tomorrow so will be constantly moving (I believe the training will be pretty intense as we all need to work on fitness).

I've read that rest is a good way of dealing with it, but not really the best option for me as per my schedule. My boss at work also suggested Magnesium powder to help the muscles recover and just lots of water. Anything else I could try to speed up the recovery or is it just a thing that we can't do anything about?

I have that Radox muscle soothe at home (different looking bottle though)

I beat DOMS 6 years ago, since that was the last time I played soccer (or any sport for that matter).

Thought I'd try go hard in 34 degree heat after barely any training and fitness work. I lost that gamble.

Knew there'd be a soccer = *beep* line though :P

Get some remedial massage work done until you've conditioned yourself or try ice baths like some of my clients do. Some of them tell me it takes the edge off between consults. You can also try some stretching after games or even give kinesio tape a go. The tape can work wonders, just dont buy the cheap stuff.

(I worked as a Myotherapist with AFL players, Triathletes and Marathon runners)

got me wondering what DOMS is seen it a few times in here. after a run the other night I had a pretty sore muscles next to the shins, will see how I go on next run

anyway grabbed this off wiki, yes its not the most reliable source of info but it looks good

Treatment

The soreness disappears in about 72 hours after appearing. If treatment is desired, any measure that increases blood flow to the muscle, such as low-intensity work, massage, hot baths, or a sauna visit may help somewhat. Immersion in cool or icy water, an occasionally recommended remedy, was found to be ineffective in alleviating DOMS in one 2011 study, but effective in another.

Counterintuitively, continued exercise may temporarily suppress the soreness. Exercise increases pain thresholds and pain tolerance. This effect, called exercise-induced analgesia, is known to occur in endurance training (running, cycling, swimming), but little is known about whether it also occurs in resistance training. There are claims in the literature that exercising sore muscles appears to be the best way to reduce or eliminate the soreness, but this has not yet been systematically investigated.
