There are many ways that an avid athlete can more quickly repair sore muscles and injuries, and by taking several important steps, an athlete can ensure that their muscles always heal very swiftly.
Eat More Protein
Many people do not realize the importance of eating a large amount of protein every day. Protein helps muscles to grow and repair themselves, and if a person is injured or their muscles are sore, a diet that is high in protein will ensure that their muscles can repair themselves much more quickly.
Glutamine
Glutamine is an amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and some amino acids are much more important for healing and repairing muscles than others. Glutamine is particularly vital for repairing muscles because it is the second most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue and in muscle fibers.
By fortifying a person’s diet with Glutamine, they will recover much more quickly.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C has a number of very important functions in the body, and one of the functions that vitamin C has is the ability to help tissues repair themselves more quickly. Vitamin C is a fundamental component of the process of creating collagen, and collagen is a protein that makes up many of the tissues of the body.
When a person’s body is producing collagen more quickly, their body will naturally heal more rapidly.
A Sauna Or A Steam Room
Saunas and steam rooms have been proven to help muscles heal and recover much more quickly. Both saunas and steam rooms provide a relaxing and hot feeling, and they help blood to rush to the muscles and to the skin. The excess blood brings more oxygen and more nutrients to the muscles, and as a result, the muscles can heal more rapidly.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is a particularly effective way of healing sore muscles quickly. By relaxing in a hot tub for a certain period of time after a great workout, the warm jets of water will help to relax and smooth a person’s muscles.
Many hot tubs provide the benefits of saunas and steam rooms in addition to the relaxing and soothing circulation of the warm water.
Many studies have shown that hot tubs are very effective for helping a person’s muscles to recover more quickly. In addition, hot tubs can improve a person’s sleep, and when a person gets more sleep, their muscles are likely to recover much more quickly.

You should have added foam rolling to that! Tight muscles need to be loosened.
