After an intense training, especially if it is an exercise in impact, it is usual to produce discomfort in the joints or muscles. We are familiar with the athletes, that ice is put in the knees and/or ankles as they leave the playing field and that is why the ice after the exercise helps in recovery.
When I say ice i am referring to the implementation of local cold, whether they are ice cubes, bags of frozen vegetables, or better, bags of cold (cold packs) that are sold in places like pharmacies, pharmacy has and some sports shops, and that are filled with a gel that cools down in the freezer but it is still pliable, with what adapts very well to irregular areas of the joints, things that a bag of ice cubes do not get. In this way, applying frioayudamos to improve recovery.
In sports or exercise that involves intense jumps, turns and sudden movements can cause joint inflammations after the activity. The cold has anti-inflammatory effect, as well as an analgesic, for what is especially indicated for these cases, without any need for injury or any pathology in particular.
As commented in the article on the application of cold or heat to relieve the joints after a training session, follow the general recommendations for the application of local cold is 10 to 30 minutes, without placing it directly on the skin (the cold kept causes skin lesions), and leave it without a lot of time on a continuous basis. In this way we reduce the impact of exercise on the body, getting a fast local relief after the effort of the physical activity.
Out of curiosity, I ask you: do you ever use local cold after exercise?
