“There is a bit more effective principle based on exactly that which is this is we don't generally why low-level movement is effective at reducing acute soreness because that's low-level contraction of the muscles and you're gonna anti-stretch and get tissue out and you can get fluid out. ... doing some quote-unquote lighter cardio or some Low impact work the next day ... can alleviate soreness more quickly than if one were to simply lie around”
