The basic, specific areas became largely inactive. They did not demand the same amount of nourishment. This is a simplification, but the cells were put in a kind of dry storage. To an extent the tissues involved became smaller, dry, less elastic, less demanding of nourishment. They curled up, so to speak.

The entire miniature system of dams has been dissolving since our last session. Small floodgates have opened, little by little, as the muscles have been newly activated. As they were, they demanded more and more nourishment.

Some of the soreness was the result of the expansion of tissue, the period between a new expansion and the resulting fresh nourishment sent to cellular structures. Finally this evening muscular expansion had gone as far as it could without a completely fresh influx, and the final breaking-down of the small dams. The sudden circulation flowed through the tissues that were unaccustomed to it, and further expanded them.
