Is muscle soreness an indicator of an effective workout?

Such discomfort usually occurs as a result of microtrauma.

Many people believe that after a good workout, the muscles should “burn”. And if the next day you get out of bed without problems, without changing in the face, it means that you did not try hard enough. But is it really so?
