If not used normally for a long time, will a muscle tighten up and become weak?!


Question: If not used normally for a long time, will a muscle tighten up and become weak?
I pulled a muscle and have only been mostly resting it and now it has become tight

Answers:

I know muscles can become weak and stiff if they are not used for long periods of time. This has happened to me and I can tell you that once you start working out on those muscles after a long period of inactivity that your muscles hurt more and you get tired very easily, so I would start with some very light activity to help get your muscle strengthened again.



yes, it's called atrophy, same is true with the brain. but i don't think it gets tight, thats probably a knot. easy enough to get out



yes it is definitely possible
