In these times seems spring is put on sneakers, wear comfortable clothes and go do some exercise. But whenever there is a sport practiced risk of injury contracture, shock or fatigue and that there is nothing better than ice.

Ice has many beneficial physiological effects. When we exercise we increase body temperature, muscle fibers are active and in constant tension. Applying ice the body reacts and produces heat, so it presents a “sweep” in the bloodstream, which carries nutrients to the muscles work area and remove debris or metabolites.

This “sweep” aid, naturally, to remove excess lactic acid that causes pain and prevents us from moving the next day. The ice also helps reduce inflammation, a clot removal, the muscle spasms and pain that can cause injury.

Some high performance athletes after competition or training reach severe plunge in tubs of ice water to recover muscle quickly and effectively.

If you have a well placed lesion, apply ice for 20 minutes two or three times a day for 48 hours. If the injury does not improve you’ll have to see a doctor.

Forget about putting heat on the first two days. The hot and cold therapies come in a second stage of rehabilitation. The first thing to do is swollen, and for that there is nothing like the power of ice.
