September Fitness Article of the Month

The USMS Fitness Committee produces many different types of articles about swimming, with topics ranging from swimming technique to nutrition. This year, we are establishing a new feature called Fitness Article of the Month. We are trying to feature a new article each month on the USMS Web Site. At the end of each month, these articles will become a part of the permanent archive.

The September, 2002 article of the month is called "No Pain, No Gain" is by Jody Welborn, M.D., who is a member of the USMS Fitness Committee, Sports Medicine Committee, and Planning Committee. This article is about delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and is a timely topic as we proceed from the summer season to autumn.
