If Jay works out excessively in the weight room, he will most likely experience:

• A. Hypertension
• B. Dizziness
• C. Myalgia
• D. Dehydration

Answer: (C)

When the body is pushed beyond what the muscles are conditioned to handle, tiny tears occur in muscle fibers and the body mounts an inflammatory response. That tissue damage and inflammation manifest as muscle pain and tenderness—that's myalgia. After intense or unfamiliar resistance training, this soreness often shows up within a day or two, a pattern known as delayed onset muscle soreness. While dehydration or increased effort can sometimes lead to dizziness or elevated blood pressure during a workout, the most direct and common outcome of excessive weight room work is muscle pain, i.e., myalgia.
