Aspirin can reduce inflammation and pain, potentially aiding muscle recovery. However, it might inhibit protein synthesis and adaptive responses to exercise.
Aspirin’s anti-inflammatory properties can help with post-exercise recovery by reducing pain and swelling, but it may also impair muscle healing and adaptation.
